About Us
If you build pyramids, you should expect mummies. If you create a horizontal organization, you leave room for autonomy and trust. Autonomous, self-organizing teams succeed because they have a greater sense of responsibility, can respond faster to change and accelerate innovation. The people in these teams are happier and they in turn lead to happier customers. Join us and release the innate capacity of your employees to adapt, perform better and be entrepreneurial in their thinking. Then, sit back and watch your growth naturally soar.
Ricardo Semler and his company Semco gained international recognition for the groundbreaking alternative approach to management and organization they embodied. The Semco Style Institute (SSI), which was built upon this strong foundation, began operations in May 2016 in the Netherlands. Today, SSI is active in ten countries and actively supports multiple organizations that range from fast-growing small-to-mid sized enterprises to multinational corporate companies. SSI’s mission is to shape the future of work and we do so by helping organizations achieve more impact and better performance, with employees who are happier and more engaged.

The Semco Style Framework: Five pivotal principles, 15 pillars and 100+ practices that will guide you towards a clear view of your own ideal of self-organization.
The answers to the two most commonly asked questions “Where do I begin?” and “what comes next?”. After working with companies ranging from corporations to small-and mid-sized companies, all over the world, we began documenting a step-by-step process towards self-management. The result is our flagship Semco Style Roadmap – created to help you pave your own way to self-management.

TOOLS
Team Selfie
The Semco Style Team Selfie is a powerful tool for team and organizational development. It gives employees a shared language and the necessary understanding of the current environment to kickstart sustainable change.
The tool is focused on the larger organization and the teams operating within it. It gives custom reports on individual-, team- and organizational level that contains insights into the degree of maturity of self-organization, self-management, trust, psychological safety, creative innovation, alternative controls for remote work and much more!
The Semco Style Team Selfie consists of 45 carefully picked questions, and is designed to scan your team based on the Semco Style Framework. The results show how the team can better influence the circumstances that enable autonomous decision making, and how they can become self-organized and agile.
TEAM SELFIE (Sample)
The Semco Style Team Selfie Sample is a self-managed quick scan. It consists of 15 of the 45 questions in the Professional version.
It is focused on your individual answers and is aimed at giving you a feel for how the Team Selfie works and the type of report that it generates.
