Decentralization Principles
How this organization implements self-organization
Market-facing cells that build, run and sell their offer end-to-end
Center cells as internal service providers with a published price catalogue
Seam agreements between cells: where, when, how much, how good
Relative targets against the own past, the other cells and an external benchmark
