Radically collaborative self-organizing | Session 4

Worker self-organization, not being controlled by bosses or managers, can seem counter-intuitive. Can this work? At scale? In any sector? At your workplace?

The book A Radical Enterprise by Matt K. Parker shows that the answer to these questions is ‘Yes’. It describes concrete examples of companies ranging from 5 to 40.000 workers—including the Dutch care company Buurtzorg—where workers self-organize their work.

Learn how you and your coworkers can regain your autonomy, dignity and fulfilment at work through collaboratively organizing the work yourselves.
