Detox
Break the bonds of bureaucracy and create a company that is as capable as the people within it.
Unearth the roots of bureaucracy
One of the biggest blights of the modern organisation, bureaucracies exist to serve the organisation at the expense of staff, customers, and the wider community.
The supposed benefits of bureaucracy include control, consistency, conformity, and coordination. The side effects include bloat, busywork, bottlenecks, and waste.
The highest performing companies in the world today are the ones that have busted internal bureaucracies, enabling the company to move fast, fix things, and inspire people to do their best work.
​
Together, we'll unearth the roots of bureaucracy in your business through the Bureaucratic Mass Index (BMI) survey, and take steps to start taming the beast.
Hack your organisation
Together we'll design a hack-day to explore and design experiments to address the top themes from the BMI survey.
​
Guided by the below principles, we'll get the right people in the room to uncover the root of the problems, explore ideas and hacks to address it, and then co-create a solution to implement.
​
Principles of human-centric companies:
​
Ownership - Create an environment where everyone feels like an owner.
​
Meritocracy - Where influence and compensation are connected to competence and value-added.
​
Markets - Creating structures that look more like open markets than centrally planned economies.
​
Community - Cultivate a community that fosters deep, trust based relationships and brings out the best in people.
​
Openness - Create an environment where curiosity, learning, and candor can grow.
​
Experimentation - Turn the company into a lab where new ideas are experimented with to discover what improves performance and what doesn't.

Where does a Hack Coach fit in?
My role as a Hack Coach is to first help you understand and uncover the roots of bureaucracy in your organisation, and the impact they have on performance, engagement, and efficacy.
​
Next, we will design a hackathon to design experiments to resolve the most impactful issues in your organisation, and cultivate an environment where everyone is engaged in creating a more effective and energising place to work.
