mot-r is document-centric work management software that makes it easier for legal and professional services teams to install and scale-up low-waste, high-performance work practices that treat people like assets. When people are your greatest asset, wasting their time and potential is the ultimate disservice to clients, teams and the organization.
“The most important contribution management needs to make in the 21st century is...to increase the productivity of knowledge work and knowledge workers.”
- Peter Drucker
Supercharge Cross-functional Teams
mot-r provides a visible, transparent, single source of truth about what needs to be done, by whom, and when - based on your uniquely differentiated management, operating, and delivery activities. Even the most junior resources will have the guidance (and guardrails) they need to deliver in a high-quality and timely fashion.
If you are dealing with millions of required actions, thousands of documents and hundreds of people - each responsible for their own independent work - then coordination is critical. Managing this constellation of resources effectively while dealing with digital-first or hybrid operations is challenging enough for some tools. We handle this with ease and add seamless multi-language capabilities for multi-national operations.
Managing a high-performance operation requires visibility to what is being done (or not done) and where you have challenges. mot-r allows you to quickly surface where you're doing well and where you aren't and then make improvements in minutes without any intervention from IT.
If there is no historical record of how you've done things and what the outcomes of those actions were, it's very hard to learn, ensure good governance, and reduce the cost of people leaving.
When all your operational knowledge unplugs from the company, hiring and getting people productive is a costly battle. mot-r keeps your history and learning protected and usable.
If you're trying to evolve your management approach, or experiment with new operating models, you can't afford the risk, delay and cost of a custom-built solution. mot-r was designed to support operating like an Organic-adaptive structure, and can support Fractal innovation, Rendanheyi, Asset Light, Distributed Management and Edge Strategies quickly and easily just through point-and-click configuration.

We're all busy. Chronically so. As Henry David Thoreau said,
"It's not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?"
One thing is certain, if you want to be...
