TWITTER-SIZE SHORT:  Makes it easy to get great stuff done. Hacks stupid work. Author. Speaker. Loves life, family, fun — everything that matters.  FOR THOSE WITHOUT A.D.D.:  Harvard Business Review, CNBC and Fast Company have called Bill Jensen today’s foremost expert on work complexity and cutting through clutter to what really matters. He has spent the past two decades studying how work gets done. (Much of what he’s found horrifies him.)  He is an internationally-acclaimed author and speaker who is known for provocative ideas, extremely useful content, and his passion for making it easier for everyone to work smarter, not harder. His first book, Simplicity, was the Number 5 Leadership/Management book on Amazon in 2000. His next best-seller is Simplicity Survival Handbook: 32 Ways to Do Less and Accomplish More. His newest book, Hacking Work:?Breaking Stupid Rules for Smart Results reveals an underground army of benevolent hackers — breaking all sorts of rules so everyone can do great work. Bill holds degrees in Communication Design and Organizational Development. He is CEO of The Jensen Group, whose mission is: To make it easier to get stuff done. Among the Jensen Group’s clients are Bank of America, Merck, Pfizer, GE, L’Oréal Italia, Genentech, NASA, The World Bank, The Royal Bank, Walt Disney World, American Express, Merrill Lynch, British Petroleum, the US Navy SEALS, the government of Ontario, Singapore Institute of Management, Guangzhou China Development District, and the Swedish Post Office. Bill’s personal life fantasy is to bicycle around the globe via breweries.
