2. ● People first - Our own
Viisionairs come first
● Clients second - Every day we
do our utmost to make our
customers happy
● Shareholders last - Financial
health in order to increase our
long term impact
Viisi’s “People First” model:

3. Does it work when we are 100 times bigger? (x100 Rule)
● “radical transparency” (open by default)
● decentralised decision making (complex ecosystems etc.)
● no functions, no titles
● rotation of leadership, “Primus inter Pares” (polis of Athens, Roman
Senate, Merchant cities, Swiss government)
● one rule: “The golden Rule”, no other rules, no handbooks etc.
● performance: horizontal “peer to peer” feedback in the team
● automatic salaries: fixed with yearly rise to create “psychological safety”
● checks and balances (principle of the State, trias politica, Senate etc.)
