I don't think I would have characterized this as 'the Geek Way' or any similarly branded methodology created by an MIT business professor, but these four features do characterize a new way of doing business (quoted):
- ownership: giving employees higher levels of personal autonomy, empowerment and responsibility
- openness: a willingness to hear what other people have to say, and being receptive to arguments, reevaluations, and changes in direction
- science: conducting experiments, generating data, and arguing about how to interpret the evidence
- speed: a preference for achieving results by iterating rapidly instead of planning extensively
These new processes are necessary because of the changing nature of the workplace. Central planning and control are not sufficiently responsive. But doing it like this requires new skills.
