Why we walked out

A third of our lives. That's what we give to work. 

Too many of us give it to boredom, frustration, and days that ask everything and mean nothing.

We felt that too.

So in 2016 we walked out of our corporate jobs, carrying one question: do better organizations actually exist?

200+ pioneers, six continents

Better already exists

We went looking for organizations that ditched the hierarchy and the bureaucracy and built something radically human, and radically successful. We keep finding them on every continent.

Our research, in the open

We've been going inside the world's most progressive workplaces for the past 10 years, mapping exactly what makes them work. 

That research now reaches more than 5 million people a month, has filled two books, powers one of the most access-rich learning programs anywhere, and connects a global network of member organizations across 30+ countries.

Recognized & taught

Taught at INSEAD and Harvard Business School.

Co-authored Harvard and INSEAD teaching cases on Buurtzorg and Haier, and earned the Thinkers50 Radar Award. Named one of the Top 30 Emergent Management Thinkers in the World.

Most people writing about the future of work have never been inside it.

We have.

From research to practice

Writing and speaking about fixing broken workplaces is one thing. Doing it is another. 

So we took the next step, from studying these companies to creating them. 

Through Krisos, the company we co-founded, we buy traditional companies and transform them, proving everything we teach works with real money on the line.
