Introducing Systematic Simplicity to Manage Decisions

The systematic simplicity approach, developed during Chris's consultancy with BP International, focuses on achieving 'risk efficiency' and 'clarity efficiency' in large projects. This methodology was mandated by BP for all significant undertakings, ensuring projects were delivered on time and within budget. Following its successful application, Chris adapted this approach for IBM UK in the 1990s, promoting a culture of 'opportunity management' that encouraged staff to differentiate between beneficial and detrimental risks, enhancing their understanding of effective management.
