Scaling Agile @ Spotify
Henrik Kniberg and Anders Ivarsson have written an interesting paper on Scaling Agile @ Spotify with Tribes, Squads, Chapters & Guilds. The organizational setup of the teams is very interesting.

Se upp för majoritetens tyrrani
Den som följer min blogg vet att jag just nu intresserar mig för sociokrati som ett djupare uttryck för demokrati. Jag har börjat läsa boken We the People av John Buck och Sharon Villines.

Holakrati, holokrati och sociokrati
Carl Blomberg, som driver bloggen Agil HR, twittrade häromdagen om Holacracy at Adscale Laboratories: Agile for the Entire Organization. Det väckte min uppmärksamhet och fick mig att titta närmare på holakrati (eng holacracy). Jag googlade och hittade en introduktion till holakrati skriven av upphovsmannen Brian Robertson själv.
