NoEmployees story continues as we explain what has happened to us in a years time exercising NoEmployees way of running a company. It is still and experiment, and we explain the ups and downs, and encourage people to do things differently: Run organizations as experiments.

1. #NoEmployees
liminating the divide etween managers and
programmers
& Antti Kirjavainen Juha Heimonen

2. HI WILDCARD!

3. What's this about?

4. We weren't 20 anmore. image: CC BY-ND 2.0 bysnippets101

5. We'd like to tell aout another wa of working.

6. Which might have even more significant impact
than adopting agile was of working.

7. To encourage ou to explore
If ou want to find a situation
where ou can do what ou love
In the wa ou think is right
To look past the ovious options

8. Mae we’ve taken the wrong learning from the
success of avant-garde 21st centur companies

9. We went to the Big Dogs
mpowered people
uilt self-organizing teams
Transformed to Agile
Made them SAFe

10. Mae ig (and old) dogs cannot learn new tricksimage: Image is public domain.

11. Mae we just need more new dogs instead.image: CC BY-ND 2.0 bydakotawinters

12. The shift is already
happening
ig companies need cutting-edge creative and
knowledge work done.
The turn to the small companies that have new
was of working.

13. Other signals
Wage transparenc
Flat organizations
(though, not man of them reall are)
Reall innovative organizations

14. #NoEmployees
Our kind of new dog!

15. Could there be really
simple solution?

16. Our simplest thing
Nomploees

23. NoEmployees
Fellows

24. How?

Access to shared ownership to new fellows
Shared work
Transparenc

28. Transparenc

29. What about the impacts

30. A Real Freedom + Responsiilit situation
Profit (eventuall)
Fellowship ... not restricted to our own compan!

31. Fellowship over
boundaries
We kind of hoped for something like this
What emerged took us  surprise
In a good wa

32. Partners in selling, people want to sell our
offering.
Cool venture collaoration opportunities
Collaoration opportunities x 4, everone of us
grows our network for real

33. The issue of growth

34. Capitalism wants ou to do it
Starting great things is exciting
Pass the good around

35. NOT  scaling upwards
not in personnel count for example
The idea is to increase impact, right?

36. We scale outwards!
Towards the network of similar minded
organizations and people.

37.  growing new pods, encouraging teams with a
vision and good setup.
uurtzorg stle!

38. Trust
#Nomploees grows trust
We are not seen as competition, ut as
collaorators.
Which actuall optimizes things as a whole quite
much for everone.

39. Our Current Challenges

40. COMMUNICATION!
Takes a lot of time
Yet not an overhead and should not e treated
as such

41. Shared purpose
Freedom vs. Shared Focus
Alignment

42. Survival vs. Greatness
Traditional topic
We'd like to create something lasting
Taking on opportunities means taking on risk

43. Minimum viable
organization
What structure is needed?
Awa from consensus
merging planning

44. eers soon!
Just few slides :)

45. How can you get do what
you love in your own
way?

46. There are alternatives to teaching old dogs new
tricks

47. Organization or rand is small
People are ig and great!

48. e our super self!

49. Design the sstem for mutual greatness!

50. You can uild trust and partnerships
It is easier if our model is not the same as
everone elses

51. Last Words
We need more experiments on organizations
That means to us
Organizations as experiments

52. Thank You
