Total Capital Management (TCM)
Today's Standard for Business Excellence
The product of a unique blend of interdisciplinary practice, theory, and research, TCM is a principles-based system for maximizing sustainable firm-level net present value and investor wealth while making a positive impact on overall economic, environmental, and social sustainability.

Sustainable Value Creation
TCM Governance, Leadership, and Management
The single best way to decide if you should invest in a company is to find out if corporate leaders have made the fundamental shift to TCM governance, leadership, and management.

Interdisciplinary Capital Management
Systems-Level Value Creation
An excellent indicator of this shift is the replacement of the old-fashioned, intradisciplinary organizational design with TCM's breakthrough interdisciplinary organizational design focused on the process and outcome of total capital management.

TCM's Three-Legged Stool
Alignment of System, Position, and Function
TCM's interdisciplinary TCM professional and TCM function are derived from TCM's digital system. This three-legged stool of system, position, and function optimizes the total capital management process to achieve today's standard for business excellence: the Sustainability Synergy™.
Total Capital Management (TCM) Professionals and Functions:
The Ultimate Strategic Business Partners
The old-fashioned, pre-TCM strategic business partner role burdened line management with multiple toolkits for managing each type of capital.
In TCM firms, TCM professionals and functions equip line managers with the single, interdisciplinary Digital Total Capital Management Toolkit™ (DTCMT) enabling achievement of the Sustainability Synergy: producing superior levels of sustainable shareholder value while making a positive impact on overall economic, environmental, and social sustainability on behalf of all other valued stakeholders.

A unique, principles-based, transformational learning experience to make the fundamental shift from intradisciplinary to interdisciplinary capital management needed to achieve the Sustainability Synergy, the breakthrough global standard for "doing well by doing good." Becoming a Certified TCM Professional and Company assures institutional investors you and your firm are a de-risked investment opportunity to earn superior returns through sustainable means.
The Solution to the 100-Year Problem of Value-Destruction: Generation Z Leaders as Certified TCM Professionals
Over the last century, business schools have educated generations of managers, executives, directors, and investors. Yet most public companies have failed to create sustainable value for shareholders, indicating a gap between traditional business education and the realities of value creation.
In response, on behalf of equity investors and all other stakeholders, business schools can now seize the opportunity to partner with the Total Capital Management® (TM) Institute in educating Gen Z students to become certified TCM professionals. These Gen Z TCM professionals will be the first generation of business leaders equipped to build or transform organizations into SuperOrgs—a new species of organization smarter, faster, and stronger than previous organizations. Specifically, TCM professionals working in TCM-enabled SuperOrgs will prevent the value-destroying work of the past while optimizing the management of all types of capital to maximize sustainable value creation in the future.
In the Intelligence Age, competitive advantage will increasingly belong to firms capable of de-risking their organizations in ways that simultaneously preserve capital, increase returns, and create enduring value for all stakeholders. Certified TCM Gen Z Leaders will be perfectly equipped to achieve these goals.Total Capital Management Institute:
Partner to Enlightened Business Leaders
It’s been said that when you advance a science above and beyond where it has ever been before, you force it into the realm of magic. This advancement has been performed on the science of business management.
Specifically, an underlying harmony of the laws of business has been discovered by Mark W. Sickles, the inventor and Father of Total Capital Management. This discovery equipped Mark to unify the complexity of a multitude of previously considered unrelated laws of business management into the elegant simplicity of Total Capital Management (TCM).
Equipped with TCM, business leaders can now choose to eliminate 1) errors of commission wasting time, money, and effort and 2) errors of omission resulting in breakthrough increases in sustainable value creation. Simply put, in the TCM era of business, leaders are free to achieve more by doing less.
The product of TCM is a new species of organization called SuperOrg®. SuperOrgs are smarter, faster, and stronger than previous organizational species, enabling them to increase sustainable firm-level net present value and investor wealth to a level conventional wisdom considers impossible that could not be predicted by the past. Enlightened business leaders unwilling to continue making these value-destroying errors will utilize the Total Capital Management Institute’s developmental and certification process to build or transform their firms into SuperOrgs.
Imagine 100% of participating members in stock indices and equity-based institutional investments are certified TCM companies. The result of this emerging future will be a breakthrough increase in financial, economic, environmental, and social sustainability providing the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people.
