I agree with you that organizationally companies may end up having to go in that direction, but I think there are some interim steps to have employees feel more like they have a voice.
For example, we run internal prediction markets at companies where employees get to make bets on relevant outcomes (will we beat sales targets this quarter, will this project get done on time, etc.) that drive decision making. We also run internal Kickstarter-style crowdfunding campaigns, where a chunk of money is literally distributed to employees to spend on ideas they come up with themselves. So for example, we're working with a nuclear lab and they distributed $1.5M to about 500 employees. Ideas they came up with that the "crowd" funded to their "tipping point," the lab agreed would turn in to actual projects. Normally these decisions would have been made by executives only, now they've been completely democratized.
- logicchains 7y agoWhat platform do you use for prediction markets; is it open source/publically available?
