Management Work Group
The Work Group accountable for the Business Management Domain:
A company must make sure that it fulfills its purpose and makes all the necessary organizational, economical and personnel decisions as well as plans, implements and controls measures and the operational business. The board (“Verwaltungsrat”) can do this themselves or delegate this to others in the company (as defined by Swiss law.)
We want to define this as the Business Management Domain and delegate it to a group of people at VSHN. So that we can ensure the health and growth of VSHN, and Board and Management can control this through reviews together.
All work group members together form the Team called Management, delegated by the board ("Verwaltungsrat"). In our case, all members are Managing Directors ("Geschäftsführer") and Executive Management ("Geschäftsleitung").
Governance
To fulfil our Purpose and Key Responsibilities, we need to make and evolve decisions. We do this by:
-
using Consent, shifting decision making from people to reasoned arguments,
-
living Equivalence involving affected other Domains, Teams and individual VSHNeers,
-
and majority voting when legally required.
Operational Work
To fulfil our Purpose and Key Responsibilities, we need to do (or delegate) operational work, mainly to have everything ready to review domains, finances and make decisions or to involve people in making decisions. It usually isn’t efficient to do all this together as a group, that’s why we distribute the work as follows by default:

External Naming
From experience, we know that for customers, partners and the business world it’s sometimes needed to define some commonly understood C-level roles.
These roles have no internal use and are not a definition of who is accountable for what. |
