Management
I take an extreme form of the Amazon’s two pizza team approach to run a loosely coupled partnerships of vendors and contractors on WhatsApp to provide services. Amazon culturally was created before the iPhone and had a very in person view of the world. A better view of the world now would be that an ideal company is one where you can run an entire business of a single Excel file and a WhatsApp group.
Grouping
- Ledger. People and Finance Management.
- PM. Defining Hiring Roles and Technology.
- Revenue. Sales, Marketing and Partnerships.
- PM
- Execution
- Support. Customer Support and Delivery.
- PM
- Execution
The grouping of a venture will be as above. The ultimate goal for a company is revenue that leads to free cash flow that can be reinvested. Revenue and Support tasks exist as the Execution mechanisms to get there.
Method
- WhatsApp. All communication using the communities feature for collaboration.
- Excel. Excel for running the actual business. The Excel incorporates the following worksheets.
- PR/FAQ. A Press Release and FAQ that defines the business and what we attempt to execute. Including the projects associated with it tracked as a task list.
- Revenue. All marketing and sales related tasks are tracked with KPIs so we can keep tack.

- Ledger. The financial picture at a moment’s notice of what the cost is based on our ledger.
