Working principles 07

A constitutionin four sentences.four sentences.

Newcomers learn these in their first week; everything else follows from these four sentences.

  • 01We are an open company inside.Our specialists see the whole of the work. Information circulates in the team, not behind closed doors.
  • 02We leave routine to the system.We do not ask people to do what the system can do; human time goes to thinking.
  • 03Every task belongs to a person.No report or task is ever ownerless. The name of a task is always the name of a person.
  • 04We do our best work.Not a lot of work, but work worth showing as an example, down to the finest detail.
  • Open companyA handbook open to everyoneHow we work is written down and open to everyone.
  • Open companySalary bands are open within the team
