Corpus Optima is a next-generation performance optimization company. We leverage the world’s most advanced process and culture transformation practices, a deep bench of practical experience, and the discovery of Superperformance–to help our clients accelerate and sustain second-order performance improvements in many facets of their organizations, projects, and lives.

Corpus Optima Founder and CEO Dave Guerra identified these amazing, scale-free principles through a multi-year study of the behavior of real Superperformers (companies demonstrating industry out-performance over long periods) including Southwest Airlines, Berkshire Hathaway, Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Sysco, Tiffany & Co, Microsoft,  Toyota, Johnson & Johnson, Wal-Mart, and Sterling Bancshares. Over a 20-year period these companies out-performed the S&P 500 by a margin of five to one.

Since then the pattern of Superperformance has appeared in many other areas.  The theory of Superperformance, including the Superperformance Formula, 8 Simple Rules, and 10 Habits of Superperforming Leaders and Managers, are outlined in Dave’s bestselling business book, Superperformance: New Profound Knowledge for Corporate Leaders, and are expanded to the executive level in Dave’s illuminating new management and leadership book The Superperforming CEO: Liberating the Promise Within, touring the country now.

Dave’s upcoming book Super Projects: From Management to Optimization (Summer 2010), advocates for broad adoption of agile principles and revision of project theory based on the evidence of Super Projects.
