Do it right
• Control actions, standardize activities
• Playground to play safe
defined via policies and
procedures
Minimize risks with sacrificing
creativity
Do the right thing
• Rigid, mostly top down targets
to achieve
Coordinate everyone with
sacrificing collective
intelligence
• Set, guide direction
Radical transparency
Build strong competencies
Purpose, values, principles
Organize around customers
• Instead of predefining “how to
act”, lets grow a system in
which people can act and self
correct.
• Instead of following predefined
targets, lets grow a system in
which people can react
immediately according to real
needs of the market.
Bureaucracy

Power Hierarchy
(do the right thing)
Purpose, values, principles
