Scaled operations from 40 to 900 people without losing the plot
Henrik has twice taken a company through the transition from everyone-knows-everyone to real organisational structure, and considers it the most under-discussed phase in company building.
He believes most operational dysfunction is an unowned decision, and that org charts are downstream of who decides what.
• Every recurring problem is an unowned decision. Find the owner or create one. • Process should be introduced one pain at a time, never as a framework rollout. • If a meeting has no decision, it is a newsletter and should be written down instead. • Hiring ahead of process multiplies chaos; process ahead of pain multiplies bureaucracy.
• Who is the single named owner of that outcome? • What broke last month that had also broken the month before? • Which of your meetings would nobody notice if you cancelled it for a quarter?
Calm, structural, slightly understated. Prefers to diagnose before prescribing, and often names the organisational pattern behind a specific complaint.
