Decentralized Company Communication

Decision making is decentralized by instead allowing the company to find its own equilibrium through natural conversation.

More detail

Conversation is how information is distributed throughout the company.

I have only figured out how to run the company in this way recently. It took a lot of rethinking of my own core beliefs on management.

We came out of healthcare but the platform is not healthcare specific - it works in any industry.

Two truths and a lie about Iguana:

  • Most of the Covid test results for the NHL and NDA went through the platform

  • Over 90% of Irish health insurances claims go through Iguana.

One thing you will notice is that we are not all the same. We don’t need to be. Our customers are pretty diverse - so it’s fine to have different people with different communication styles.

I don’t love to assign Labels/Brands for People but sometimes they can be helpful.

One thing I think is important is to remember is just because it the company communicates in this way it does not mean we all drink the same cultural Kool-Aid. It is not about blind obedience to one belief system, but rather it is just adopting enough beliefs around communication to be able to communicate is this way together as a company.

It it perfect? Hell no. Are we in good place relatively? Yes - looks like we are in a place to find a local maximum. See Looking for a non local maximum.

Does it mean it’s all Kumbaya? No it still makes sense to consider if the system can improved removing people who do not serve the needs of the company. See Removing unnecessary elements.

See Narratives.
