The way we work
is broken
Today’s workplaces are broken. With 85% of employees disengaged, 23% feeling burned out and 37% believing that their job makes no useful contribution to society, work as we know it today is simply not working.
We work in a way that was created for a slow, stable, and predictable world that no longer exists.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
Say hello to self-managing organizations
A growing group of organizations around the globe is pioneering a radically different approach to work. It's based on purpose, autonomy, trust, and entrepreneurship.
The ones that successfully implement so-called self-managing approaches, reap the powerful benefits:
- Revenues: +80%
- Profit: +210%
- Productivity: +40%
- Accidents: -86%
- Absenteeism: -32%
Yet, implementing this approach isn't easy.
Many organizations struggle to understand this new paradigm, let alone translate it to their specific circumstances.
Abstract theories and oversimplified off-the-shelf solutions don't cut it. Neither do outdated business school programs or fragmented blog posts, videos, and management books.
There's hasn't been a place where founders, transformation leaders, and changemakers have direct access to these pioneering organizations and their practices and transformation strategies.
Until now.

Who are behind this?
We are Joost Minnaar and Pim de Morree. Together with a passionate team, we support organizations to radically reinvent the way they work. Our mission? To make work more fun.
What is Corporate Rebels?
In 2016, we left our frustrating corporate jobs. We were disillusioned with the slow, uninspiring corporate world and embarked on a journey to discover and study organizations that operate in radically different ways.
After creating a comprehensive list of workplace pioneers, we began traveling the globe to visit and research alternative work approaches. We interviewed management experts, explored over 150 self-managing organizations, and collaborated with academics who demonstrated that many organizations are structured in hopelessly outdated ways.
More encouragingly, we uncovered substantial evidence that success for both companies and employees is achievable—when we fundamentally rethink the way we work.
What does Corporate Rebels do?
We collaborate with an exceptional team to assist organizations to reinvent the way they work.
We operate an online Academy, with this Masterclass as its flagship program, and we connect pioneering organizations through a global network.
Continuing our worldwide research on self-managing organizations, we deliver keynote speeches, conduct workshops, and organize events internationally. We author books, blog posts, and a newsletter.
We also manage a private equity firm named Krisos, where we acquire small and medium-sized enterprises and convert them into highly progressive organizations.
Additionally, as a company, we donate 10% of our profits to the Corporate Rebels Foundation—a charity dedicated to eliminate inhumane workplaces.
Though our activities vary, our goal remains consistent: to make work more fun.
