Designing your perfect company

In our assignment this week we were asked to watched materials about radical ideas, leadership, complexity, structures and business agility. 

We've have been asked to use this newly acquired knowledge, to "designing your perfect company" 

Let me start by stating that the word "perfect" is subjective here. Understanding that organizations can be both complicated and complex (we are dealing with human beings after all) - designing the "perfect" company becomes somewhat a quagmire.

So here it is simplistic but we have to start somewhere - 

• How would it work? 

Employees themselves determine what to do, based on a common goal and a clear company vision.

• What would be their values and principles? 

Purpose over Profit

Networks over Hierarchies

Empowerment over Control

Experimentation over Planning

Transparency over Privacy  

• How people would collaborate? 

Employees themselves determine what to do and how to collaborate in order to create, build, innovate, and work based on a common goal and a clear project vision.

• How HR and finance would work? 

Transparency.

• What would the structure be? 

Flat structure (only roles and responsibilities required to achieve a common goal and company vision.

What practices would you use? 

Employees themselves determine best practices as teams (again based on a common goal and a clear company vision).
