> What I would add, black out blinds on all outer facing windows. I don't see a refrigerator or a coffee machine/water/drinks.

Right, unfortunately the asset library of the editor does not contain these items.

Yes, looking at the feedback, I think I should add more quiet / private space (bigger library, private meeting rooms).

I actually imagined having a second floor which is even more quieter, just with offices. There you could have single person rooms.

Joel Spolsky built this type of office: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2003/09/24/bionic-office/

> 30 people team

If it's a product team, you can easily have a company with 4-5 teams (design, development, marketing/sales, support, content) so it's not to uncommon to have a team grow to that size. And this size is still manageable, if they are not all doing the same.

For me 30 is the max, I prefer it smaller, too.

> 3 person office

For me that's the ideal tag team: a junior, a medior and a senior working hand in hand is great. In general I find my to be the most agile in teams of three. 3 opinions are a choice, and you can quickly find input if you don't have to stand up to move.

If I'm in the office I want to use that opportunity to be in close contact.

> The wall covering the door

You can peak through the window left and right of the door to see everyone in the room.

> Bathroom stalls

Good point, I'll just update the design (similar to the shower)

> Library

Yes, you could be right.

No dedicated meeting room? Yes, meetings should be reduced to an absolute minimum and can be held in one of the offices or in the stand-up area. This makes them public and everyone easily has the chance to join in. The same is true for client meetings, which in my experience rarely take place at the office if you are an agency, anyway. So, no dedicated meeting rooms necessary.

Sprint planning: in the town hall if the sprint involves most of the team, or in on of the offices. A three people office can accommodate a small sprint team of 6-7 people.

Project brainstorming: In the town-hall, in the kitchen, maybe outside when taking a walk?

Private meetings: In most cases, the privacy of the corner seating areas will be enough, but I think most of the times at least small office will be vacant, because not everybody is in the office all the time.

Make the price $5 and these will sell.

I can't wrap my mind around that a domain name will be worth the $1.5 in cash plus all the work around acquiring, rebranding, etc.

What is the difference to Intercom?

Well, everybody starts somewhere. And books greatly help (me) to get more input and some books (like An Everyone Culture) are so outstanding and unique, that it's worth reading them even if you are not in the position to change an organization.

I've added a subtitle to the header below my role. That should make it clear.

There are great books about making innovation your default culture. I highly recommend reading "An Everyone Culture" which is about creating Deliberate Learning Organizations: https://blog.coderbyheart.com/an-everyone-culture

Yes, and Kotter does not offer any incentive for the hierarchy to change. First, because they can keep controlling the network, and second, they can (in his idea) keep people more productive, if there is the negative example of the hierarchy that makes working for the network so desirable.

Right. He thinks that because having a very compelling and inspiring objective you will put in extra effort to contribute towards it. The "celebration of wins" also further incourages you to keep pushing.

What might happen is that once you achieve The Big Opportunity, you can get back to your normal 100% job in the hierarchy; but who would want that?!

Absolutely!

Okay. You might be correct.

But I think their motivation is different, they invest their spare time to advance their career, which serves a clear purpose and this is a great motivator. That is different compared to working over-time for the advancement of their employers.

Also, these courses have a clear timeframe and a clear defined curriculum which you can plan for.

Yes, I work for a company that tries to change organizations to the better. The experiences I make doing that gives me a good insight on what actually works and what does not.

What would be your preferred way how I publish this kind of content?

The theme I've used is based on http://gayan.me/harmony/ … mine is also available on GitHub: https://github.com/coderbyheart/blog

What is/are "badge folk"?

Yes! I see it the same way.

As I developer I can only work on side-projects, if my days were mostly not code related work. On days where I was left alone and could code for 5-10 hours there is no way I'll go home to code another stretch. But I'll happily work on some physical project, or read a book.

Yes, you could argue that in a hierarchy 50% of your time is spent with superfluous activity, like useless reports, endless meetings, and that you don't spend energy there … which you can put to good use within the network.

But this is a fallacy: if the hierarchy is your default you will never achieve your full potential working in a network organization.
