This document introduces Sakamun, a software that aims to help companies manage their workforces more efficiently by connecting employees to relevant work, information, and each other. It allows employees to directly prioritize their own work, receive real-time updates, and provide performance reviews of one another. The goal is to turn companies into "living systems" where work flows seamlessly from person to person based on their unique abilities. It also aims to help individuals develop their careers and skillsets. The creators describe themselves as social entrepreneurs seeking to evolve how people and organizations work through technological mutation.
4. Still Searching for the Agile
Enterprise?
“Disassociate what’s hip from people to see the real effects”
“I’m communicating in real-time” leading to “spacing out”
“nagging”, “mobbing”, “loosing the context”,
“producing just words, words, words… wasting time and resources”
“I’m reading my mail” leading to “glazing”
“desperate attempts to consolidate irrelevant information”,
“desperate attempts to understand the claimed relationships
between the people receiving these messages”,
“producing misinformation that neither says “yes” or “no”
5. “Glazing
happens when
there’s too
much
information to
process”
“Getting the job done
happens when you have
all the relevant
information at the
right time”
“Spacing out
happens when
there isn’t enough
information, but a
continuous stream
of details”
6. “Manage your workforce as efficiently as
possible”
“Bring relevant abilities and information
together”
“Realize your firm’s potential”
No more tricks!
9. Turn your employees into
forces of nature
• Find the person with the key abilities immediately
• Get the job done as fast as possible
• Find the next problem to fix
10. Power to the people
• Let people prioritize their own work “because they are the
experts”
• Preserve a direct communication stream until job completion
“because everyone wants to get rid of the impediments and
carry on with the work”
• Get completion alerts immediately as in “nobody likes
status meetings”
• Incorporate performance reviews into each and every task
“because those yearly meetings just don’t cut it”
11. Turn your company into a
living system
• Don’t draw organization charts, live in them.
• No more orientations! Let everyone immediately
know who and where he/she is.
• Create achievement based career paths and make
them visible at all times.
• Let your workforce evolve to meet tomorrow’s
challenges!
13. Expose Unique
Abilities
“We have 4 marketers, 3 graphic designers, 6 sales people
and 10 programmers who have different kinds of
complementary skills and unique backgrounds.”
• Brie is a great electronics engineer turned marketer
• Mark is a genius with all things artistic especially
abstract with a generation Z focus
• Leonardo can sell any kind of mobile gadget to anyone in
Latin America
• Alicia is an iOS programmer extraordinaire who’s an
accomplished musician as well
14. Find the right person
• “Brie is trying to come up with a marketing campaign that will
eradicate the competition, but she needs more information
about the product and the target customer.”
• “She scans the vicinity for someone with the right resources
who can start working with her immediately.”
• “She browses candidates, selects Leonardo who’s the most
successful salesman of that product type.”
• “She assigns a business goal to initiate a communication
stream.”
“I need a salesman’s insight to see what
makes a Hi-Res audio player attractive to
expensive smartphone owners”
“mobile device
sales”
“media players”
“high
conversion
rate”
15. Tackle tasks with utmost
efficiency
• “Leonardo sees Brie’s problem and requests a
short meeting to discuss the details.”
• “They are directed to an appropriate meetup place
automatically.”
• “Once the details are deciphered, Leonardo starts
working on the problem immediately.”
“That intel
pretty
much
cleared the
way for
me”
“So, I’ll be
able to
finish this
today?
Wow!”
“What do you mean this
meeting won’t last
forever?”
“I’ll send
you a
script you
can use”
“…”
16. Have customers review
performance for accuracy
• “Brie is alerted as soon
as Leonardo finishes the
task.”
• “Brie reviews the work
and performs a
performance review
immediately on the spot.”
“Such
professionalism…
and to the point…
He solved most of
my problem
during the
meeting.
Thank you
Leonardo!”
“I didn’t like the
meeting room on
the other hand.”
17. Have employees review
performance for feedback
“Leonardo performs a
performance review of the
customer immediately on
the spot as well.”
“Thanks
Brie for
asking all
the right
questions…
glad I could
help.”
18. Let another cycle begin!
“What’s my next
challenge?”
“This firm is
on fire!”
“What’s my next
challenge?”
“What’s
my next
challenge?”
