If you work at a company, here I have a short questionnaire for you:

1. Is everyone in your firm able to tell:

a) how much his salary is?
b) how much his work is worth?
c) how productive he is?

2. The remuneration scheme of your company:

a) is perfectly proportional to individual productivity?
b) is perceived as fair?
c) has no artificial organisational ceilings limiting how much a person can earn?

3. Does your business have the level of transparency so that the process of value creation can be observed, in exact figures and end-to-end, regardless of company size and complexity?

4. Can every employee initiate internal investments and oversee them later?

Could you give a positive answer to all questions?

Chances are you could answer only question 1a positively (but if you did more, please, let me know). I guess you might be wondering how a company could pass all of the above questions. I tell you this isn’t difficult to achieve. In fact, these questions outline some of the objectives of The Transaction Company and in my next posts you’ll gradually come to learn how this can be done.
