concentrre

Concentrre is a neologism used to describe a disciplined process of concentrating attention, resources, and decision-making around a single objective within a team or organization. It is not a standard term in formal literature, but it is used in management and design discourse to describe practices intended to speed up problem solving and reduce context switching.

The etymology of concentrre is informal; it appears to derive from the verb concentrate with an intensified orthography. Its exact coinage date is uncertain, and usage has varied across communities since the late 2010s.

In practice, concentrre refers to structured, time-boxed activities—such as focused work sessions, concentrated brainstorming, or centralized decision-making—where participants align on a problem, define success criteria, and commit to a sequence of short iterations.

Key features often include a clearly stated goal, a defined duration, minimized interruptions, a single coordinating lead, and explicit metrics for progress and closure.

Criticism and limitations: because concentrre is not a formal methodology, interpretations differ and it may become jargon. Some observers caution that overemphasis on speed can undermine thoughtful analysis, while proponents argue it improves alignment and throughput when used with proper planning.
