The new collaboration put into practice
"We are a mix of a partnership, a cooperative, a guild and a franchise organisation and we act in a high-performing team."Â I usually say that when I have to explain in one sentence how we work as a Salesforce Practice. And then, of course, I get to explain that next.
We are a partnership. All g-company consultants are entrepreneurs, self-employed, organised in a partnership. Those who want to can buy shares, then you are literally partners, but colleagues without shares are considered equals just the same. Partnership, we do it together: "It's our beer!", I often joke.
And a cooperative. According to Van Dale, an association, aimed at cooperation. As a result, the power of the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts.
We are like a guild. We are craftsmen, (very) experienced professionals who work together and realise beautiful projects together: "We are building cathedrals."
In a franchise organisation. Legally, we are a franchise organisation. g-company is a B.V. and we as consultants are all franchisees. We have only a few employed colleagues for staff functions and support. All consultants are franchisees and take responsibility for their own performance.
And we work together in a high-performance team! Because we are all experienced professionals and entrepreneurs, we don't need a boss. In a high-performance team, everyone is a team leader. Whoever has a new idea or observes that something could be better, does something about it. We listen to each other and help each other, we make each other better! We realise that you don't have to be sick to get better.Â
