Can Self-Organization Work or Is It Just a Myth?

Especially the new generation of entrepreneurs is deeply invested with the questions "What is the best way to organize your company?", "What kind of structure and company culture embody the purpose of the company while being the most efficient one?", "Are holacracy and other forms of self-organization just bed time stories or can they actually work?". Blinkist has established it's own way of working called "Blinkcracy" of which we will hear straight from Blinkist Co-founder Niklas Jansen. Vishal Vasisth, Co-founder at Obvious Ventures, on the other hand, has a take on functional hierarchies. On stage are also Founder and CEO at Smartly.io, Kristo Ovaska, who has his own war stories to share and leading the discussion is the CEO at Slush, Marianne Vikkula. -- In 2017, Slush brought together 20,000 attendees, including 2,600 startups, 1,600 investors and 600 journalists from over 130 countries. The cold and dark Helsinki welcomed these tech-heads to a week long celebration (27.11.-1.12.), including Slush Music, new Slush Y verticals, and hundreds of side-events and activities around the city. Slush Week 2018 takes place on 4.–5.12.2018.
