S2 Ep.18 B. Peters, R. Solomon, S. Kellert: Software and Protocols for a new way of Organizing

Boundaryless Conversations Podcast

In our research at Boundaryless on the concept of the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Enabling Organisation, aka EEEO or 3EO, we’ve been wondering if a common approach to organizational development is emerging from the success stories of several pioneers, such as Haier Group, Amazon, Buurtzorg and others. In this conversation, Simone is joined by several guests who have experience to share in this field.
The first one is Bryan Peters, co-founder at Sobol.io - an app that helps teams visualize and manage dynamic organizational accountability structures - and is focused to explore what opportunities live at the intersection of human collaboration networks and decentralized technologies like the Ethereum blockchain.
We’re also joined by Rob Solomon, founder of Cone, which is an application that enables companies to organize themselves as a platform, where teams operate and interact with one another in a marketplace as if each were its own autonomous startup. Rob also worked with ConsenSys, Zappos, and The Downtown Project on various experiments with Holacracy and marketplace dynamics.
Finally, we’re joined by Sascha Kellert, the Founder of Rekursive, a venture-backed startup building the ownership economy aimed at making it easy for platforms and creators to make any person a co-owner in their business – simply through the web without lawyers or notaries.
In this episode, we discuss the 3EO ecosystem concept and the impact of the ownership economy. Tune in to learn more about how crypto can help design powerful new incentive structures and visual tools, and striving to work from a shared grammar.
