'Ordered anarchy' delivers creative projects at better value
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 1 March 2012 ) At first blush, a business with no bosses as such, run on a democratic basis where participants opt in on projects would seem a recipe for a disaster.
Yet, 30-month old Wellington collective (if that's the correct term), with an Auckland hub, Enspiral is thriving and a poster child for the supposed coming wave of social enterprise.
So, how does a non-hierarchical, democratically run business operate in the age of the internet? In fact, it is possibly only because of the internet that it works as well as it does.
