In 1994, before we ever heard the term "coopetition", Organelle was formed with the goal of adaptively fitting into relationship with other specialists to create higher order results.
Our definition of success is when we can journey to the core of a problem or desire with a client, become part of the design and problem solving mechanism, and emerge with an elegant solution.
Work
Before Organelle was born it was conceived from a burning question:
How can a company bend and accomodate its employees as opposed to asking employees to bend and accomodate the company?
This is a core dilemma in our day, we find so much of ourselves reflecting back on our days' work. The answer was to let a company be an organic creation (a cell) made up of its employees (organelles) that join in relationship to become. That last sentence may seem abrubtly terminated, but Organelle's goal is to allow its employees to become: talented, happy, balanced, self determining, community aware etc.
Practices
The primary way Organelle behaves toward its employees is to allow each to find its natural place at a given time to balance and maximize both income and personal goals. Employees have a choice to seek projects they can really enjoy working on, with little restriction by Organelle. Of course, the individual then takes the responsibility for the revenue generated from that period of work and will only be able to draw compensation accordingly.
Influences
The Turning Point, Fritjhof Capra - the name Organelle, and the realization that many assumptions about the past were about to become useless.
The Reinvention Of Work, Matthew Fox - the understanding of the terms "work" and "job", the determination to let a company become an organic result of employees reaching their full potentials as individuals and community members.
