AEquacy is a hierarchy-free organizational design and operating system that changes the paradigm of the traditional, hierarchical organization and paves the way for greater innovation, collaboration, and performance. AEquacy can be displayed as a radial, equalitarian structure of self-organizing, peer-coordinated teams, in which people are considered associates instead of employees and serve the organizational purpose autonomously. We chose the name AEquacy (from the Latin aequum: equality, fairness) to emphasize the absence of hierarchy and the equal right of all members of the organization to participate in decision-making. A company which adopts AEquacy is thus an aequal organization. In aequal organizations people can perform at their best because they have total control over their work, clarity about the organizational direction and access to all information to make the best decisions.
