Yves Morieux Biography

Yves Morieux is the director of Boston Consulting Group’s Institute for Organization. He is an expert in corporate transformation and leads the firm's development of approaches to help organizations create the structural and behavioral groundwork for competitive change. Morieux was a BCG Fellow from 2008 through 2017, and is began another BCG Fellowship in 2019.

Morieux has pioneered new ways of organizational thinking through the development of Smart Simplicity, an approach designed in cooperation with BCG clients in different regions and industries. The basis of Smart Simplicity is creating an environment in which employees can work with one another to develop creative solutions to complex challenges. This concept includes six “smart rules” to better manage the new business complexity while avoiding organizational complicatedness. During his tenure as a Fellow, Yves’s research focused on new business complexities and their organizational implications.

With Peter Tollman, Morieux coauthored the book "Six Simple Rules: How to Manage Complexity without Getting Complicated," which is based on this principle of Smart Simplicity and examines how companies can embrace the new business complexity to thrive in today's marketplace. In 2013, he presented a TED talk—part of a series of talks curated by TED and BCG—about following “Smart Rules” in order to create competitive advantage and improve productivity.

Since joining BCG in 1995, Morieux’s client work has focused on advising senior executives of prominent corporations and public-sector organizations worldwide on their strategies and organizational transformations.

Prior to joining BCG, Morieux was a director in private research and consulting practice that specialized in applying state-of-the-art findings in the social sciences to organizations and markets.

Yves Morieux Speaking Topics

  • Smart Simplicity: How to Manage Complexity without Getting Complicated

    Companies typically respond to the new complexity of the business environment -- the need to satisfy more performance requirements, notably lower cost and higher quality, speed and reliability, innovation and efficiency, standardization and personalization... -- with a burdensome proliferation of structures, solid and dotted lines, committees, processes and systems in the organization. This internal complicatedness stifles productivity, innovation, and disengagement at work. There is another way to face the new complexity of business, that I have called ""smart simplicity"".

    Attendees will learn solutions to create competitive advantage by facing business complexity while eliminating internal complicatedness. The ""six simple rules"" will illustrate the tools that thus help create more value for all stakeholders at lower cost.

  • New Ways of Working: the Social Economics of Relational Productivity

    The temporary elimination of the office – the container – during the pandemic lockdowns led to an illumination of largely ignored and untapped potential in the content of work. This discovery by subtraction allowed to highlight the importance of Relational Productivity: the performance differential that accrues from connectedness, irrespective of the physical proximity between employees.

    Attendees will learn how organizations can leverage Relational Productivity to achieve major improvements in both performance and satisfaction at work. The approach, tools and prescriptions go far beyond the pros and cons of physical, hybrid, and remote work settings. They are relevant to any organization, irrespective of where work takes place.
