Dawna talks to Stelio Verzera about LiquidO, an agile governance model championed by Cocoon Projects, a values-driven innovation company based in Italy.
In 2013 Stelio Verzera won the Digital Freedom Challenge for his paper on Liquid Organisations. Since then, Cocoon Projects, a value driven innovation company located in Italy and co-founded by Stelio and nine others, has gone on to invent new ways of working.
Apart from abolishing job interviews, Cocoon has invented and worked with contribution accounting and a collaborative decision-making toolbox while creating greater value for contributors and clients.
In this podcast, Stelio talks about:
- Why LiquidO and why now.
- What contribution accounting is and how it strengthens peer-to-peer relationships.
- How collaborative decision-making works.
- How participatory governance works in practice.
- What kinds of companies are investing in value driven innovation.
- How value driven innovation calls forth a higher level of leadership in business owners and managers.
- How self-organising activates the principle of ‘stigmergy’ where one action stimulates the performance of the next action through indirect coordination.
