MESH:
a human-centric organisational design for a decentralised world.
Co-authored by Ardcairn founder, Gráinne Hamilton
A compass for navigating decentralisation.
Mesh addresses the opportunities and challenges of the emerging era and proposes an organisational design built around an open, regenerative culture empowered by a granular, mesh structure that is primed for navigating Web3 technology.
It provides an exhaustive framework that is understandable, implementable and complete with a conceptual model and method to enable systems thinking and vantage points for considering the whole organisation.
Mesh provides tools and practices to help organisations implement a human-centric organisational design for a decentralised world.
