Our Starting Structure

The circles to the right are how our work is organized, today.



We organize our work using roles. Roles have a few parts: a purpose, a set of accountabilities and possibly, a domain. Together these parts make up the whole of a role, and roles together make up the whole of an organization. As you can see our organization is simple -- that is because we’re small. As we grow, the work will become more complex and so will organizing the work.

Roles are built and altered using a participatory process. For example, as we run experiments and learn how to steer this organization, we alter the roles to reflect the learnings. We use a meeting process to organize the work because altering how the work is organized requires input and if there are no agreed upon processes decision making can easily become authoritarian.
