JoHo Internal Organization
- JoHo has a network (process) organization structure. The core of this is that the structure is derived from how people want to work and not vice versa. Attributes that correspond to the different network organizations (and largely also apply to JoHo) include:
- no organization around structures and functions, but around processes (highly variable) roles
- important role for coaching (learn to function independently) instead of direct leadership by a direct supervisor
- emphasis on informal rather than formal participation
- direct feedback from colleagues and coaches instead of performance and assessment interviews
- Intensive use of an internal network (intranet / changing workplaces / informal consultations)
- emphasis on entrepreneurship and self-initiative instead of hierarchy and bureaucracy
