A flat organization structure? This is how we started at Sweet Mustard
Agile, teal, self-organising, autonomous teams, flat organisations, new way of working… We all dream to work in such an environment. The question is; how do you create such an open, transparent structure where you don’t lose focus, nor efficiency.
This is how we started at Sweet Mustard.
Sweet Mustard?
- Sweet Mustard is enabling agile teams to work in state-of-the-art technologies for its customers
- Sweet Mustard is exactly 1 year old
- The pillars of Sweet Mustard are
- Cultivating talent
- Inspiring community
- Innovating business
- There’s no management team or hierarchy
The goal
Last year, while working with 2 or 5 or even 10 colleagues, everything seemed manageable. Of course, when a company grows as fast as Sweet Mustard in 1 year’s time, some obvious growing pains emerge. While being happy about boosting business and rising demands, questions like “how can we keep the right focus and priorities, how do we safeguard our values and core beliefs, how do we continue to work on our pillars and our story” arise.
What we were looking for
Agile, teal, self-organising, autonomous teams, flat organisations, new way of working…
Exactly that. We wanted to keep the feeling of “not coming to work” when we were coming to work. Still having fun with innovating ideas, hackathons, no fixed place or time for work, no managers, planners to tell us what or how to do things.
This is the story of how we set up our flat organization structure

Workshop
Beginner
Cet atelier vous propose de considérer l'agilité à la lumière des recherches en neurosciences de ces deux dernières décennies.
Par des activités pratiques, vous découvrirez :
- Pourquoi l'agilité est avant tout une question d'état d'esprit
- Comment le cerveau peut échapper aux limites de ses automatismes et entrer dans un mode adaptatif où l'agilité et l'intelligence collective deviennent possible à toute échelle : une équipe, une entreprise, etc.
- Comment développer les attitudes adaptatives, et notamment échapper au stress
Cet atelier est animé par Jean-Hugues CONGIA (CSP-SM/CSP-PO) et Jean-Louis PRATA (Directeur du Pôle R&D de l’Institut de Médecine Environnementale - Conseil et de l'Institut de NeuroCognitivisme).
