The Works
A few things in motion.
Strategy and execution for organizations that want to run on better data and treat their people well.
Data & Institutional Research
Turn scattered institutional data into decisions. Pipelines, dashboards, and reporting infrastructure that surface the handful of metrics that actually move the work forward.
Digital Transformation
Modernize the systems and workflows a team runs on. CRM strategy and administration, tool selection, and process design built to serve the people using it, not the other way around.
Organizational Design
The DESIGN ETHICAL! approach, applied in the room with you. Shape roles and teams that grow with people instead of burning them out, and head off the organizational debt that ends in layoffs.
Teams I've done the work with
Heya Manager '92
Run a stable in the world of professional sumo, 1992. Recruit, train, and shepherd wrestlers through the rhythms of the sport, the politics of the stable, and a deep prestige system.
Authentic pixel art, deep management mechanics, and a culture rendered with care.
NameJourney
A calmer way to make one of life's bigger decisions. Discover, rate, and live-test names through a guided journey toward the one you'll love for a lifetime.
Built around a consistency-over-time methodology, not a one-day shortlist.

DESIGN ETHICAL!
An organizational design philosophy for companies that take human beings seriously. How to grow with your people instead of in spite of them, and how to avoid the layoffs that signal a design failure.
Includes tools that help workers read and reshape how their jobs and teams are built.
A Hundred Winters
A cultural historian is thrown by a sabotaged gate into a parallel 1607, carrying technology built to strip-mine inhabited worlds. He has a hundred years to prepare this one for what is coming through after him.
Book I: The Long Sleep. The finished books will be released here as they're ready.
About
Jeff Harr is a strategist and consultant who builds the things he wishes existed: games with real systems under the hood, books that argue for treating people well, and worlds detailed enough to get lost in.
The throughline is design with intention. Make the thing on purpose, for the people who'll use it, and let them own the result.
Kachi Clash
Currently ranked Maegashira 14 East on the sumo forecasting game Kachi Clash, after a steady climb from the lower divisions since 2024.
