There is so much here that reflects Dadamac's ethos and "understanding of how the world is". NB - Thanks is another thing I have come across thanks to Coalition of the Willing techies

Introduction - http://bettermeans.org/front/learn-more/open-enterprise-manifesto/

The Open Enterprise is a new organizational design. Unlike organizations using traditional management structures, Open Enterprises replace the command and control hierarchy with a meritocracy based on collaboration and open participation.

Organizations that adopt this new organizational structure can make decisions faster and respond quicker to their markets. They look more like living dynamic networks, and less like pyramids. People working in these organizations will have (and feel) more ownership. They’re more engaged in their work, and have the freedom to work on what they want, when they want to. Most importantly this model enables people to once again bring their full humanity – values, beliefs and passions – to the workplace, removing disconnect between organizational and personal values.
