Slow Growth - Software Makers & Society
Slow Growth - Software Makers & Society
The last decades saw young, technology-enabled companies beat huge, traditional enterprises across all market sectors. We saw these companies create whole new business categories out of (apparent) thin air. The phenomenon was so remarkable, a whole new category for how fast companies can grow was created: hypergrowth.
Research10 has gone far into making tangible those aspects of company culture that are shared by high-performing organisations. Often these companies operate in small, cross-functional teams with end-to-end ownership, highly autonomous in their daily operations, but also highly aligned to shared and understood business goals. The generative type of organisational culture as outlined by Westrum11 provides a broad but actionable description of the types of corporate culture we should be striving for.
High performing organisations are obsessively disciplined about their metrics, usually choosing a specific one – a ‘North Star Metric’12 – to track overall business performance. Teams then break this metric down to its smallest components in detailed KPI trees13

re:Work - The five keys to a successful Google team
Pod. Work group. Committee. Autonomous collective. Whatever you call it, you’re part of one at Google and probably wherever you work: a team. So if we know what makes managers great, why don’t we know what makes a team great?
We learned that there are five key dynamics that set successful teams apart from other teams at Google: Psychological safety: Can we take risks on this team without feeling insecure or embarrassed? Dependability: Can we count on each other to do high quality work on time? Structure & clarity: Are goals, roles, and execution plans on our team clear? Meaning of work: Are we working on something that is personally important for each of us? Impact of work: Do we fundamentally believe that the work we’re doing matters?
