SHAPING THE FUTURE OF WORK IN THE USA

Transform your organization, business, non-profit, association, corporation...

In the 1980's Ricardo Semler transformed his company Semco into a self-managed organization.

Since then Millions all over the world were inspired, but only a handful actually grew the workplaces they aspired to.

Now the Semco Style Institute brings a proven method to the USA to guide people on their own path to self-management and make an impact on their business results, generate high performance and of course: happiness.

When 21-year-old Ricardo Semler took over the Semco Group from his father, he democratized the company and flipped the old corporate hierarchy on its head.

The growth was from 90 to 5000 employees, annual revenue from $4 million to $212 million, average rate of growth 47% and very low employee turnover rate of just 2%.

The Semco Style Methodology

Maverick Ricardo Semler co-founded the international Semco Style network. We developed a method to help organizations implement a human-centered workplace. We now go beyond the initial practices of Semco and continually develop new practices and share learnings from an international network in 12 countries.

The Semco Style Framework: Five pivotal principles, 15 pillars and over 100 practices that will provide general orientation and when desired very specific guidance for your journey towards a human-centered workplace.

The Semco Style Roadmap – was created to guide you on your own way to self-management. We can answer the two most commonly asked questions “Where do I begin?” and “What comes next?”. This is not based on theory but the result of documenting the work we have done with large, mid-sized, and small companies all over the world.

WHY

We believe that most organizations currently miss out on performing better or even are at risk of going out of business. This happens because they still operate according to the old industrial paradigm, and with an outdated operating system. Even beautiful offices and generous employee perks can not replace a trusting and democratic culture.

We believe that organizations who respect and trust people – whether they’re clients or employees - will do better. The future of work is a more human-centered, self-managed and thus a more agile workplace.

We have been spearheading this transformation since the 1980's.

21-year-old Ricardo Semler took over the Semco Group, a mixer and agitator manufacturer in Brazil, from his father. He democratized the company and turned the old corporate hierarchy on its head.

Raised the company’s annual revenue from $4 million to $212 million, growing at an average rate of 47%.

Semco also achieved a phenomenally low employee turnover rate of just 2% under Ricardo Semler’s leadership.
