• 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
