The F.O.G. method

Find the Friction.
Optimize. Grow.

Growth means work that is more effective, efficient, and reliable. It can also mean time and money saved, and the ability to take on something new.

Fewer Steps: a search symbol, a gear and a growth chart connect to steps leading upward.

  1. 01

    Find the Friction

    Start with what people are trying to achieve. Find what slows them down, makes results less reliable, or keeps better work out of reach.

  2. 02

    Optimize

    Improve the steps first. Then recommend the right mix of process changes, useful tools, automations, and AI assistance to make the work more effective and reliable.

  3. 03

    Grow

    Put the change to work. See what it returns in income, savings, and time—then use that advantage to pursue new opportunities, build capability, and enjoy the work more.

Your guide

Hi, I’m Chris.

I’ve spent 30 years in engineering and product development.

  1. AerospaceTurbofan jet
    engines
  2. AutomotiveVehicle structures,
    suspension and bumper systems
  3. LeadershipInnovation, product
    development and testing

For the past 15 years, I’ve led this work in Hamilton–Niagara, bringing together teams of up to 18 people, including in-house staff and outside suppliers.

That work taught me to follow a process step by step, listen to the people doing it, and find the change that actually helps. I bring the same approach to businesses and households through Fewer Steps.

I use AI where it makes work more useful or reliable. Sometimes a simpler process is the better answer. I don’t resell software or take commissions.
