If you are aware of any organisation with most/all of the mentioned feature please get in touch with me at dennisfreethinker(at)yahoo(dot)com. Put appropriate subject ( say NOT JUNK so that I do not overlook it as junk. If I do not respond within 2 day please put another email as I may have overlooked it.

Features of the organization:

( Many organizations may incorporate one or more of these features – I do not know of any organizations that incorporate all/most of it )

Recruitment of bright practical thinkers will be a major activity ( this has to be distinguished from the typical HR done by organizations where job/responsibility is equated to experience/education/skill ) This work is absolutely crucial. The most common and biggest mistake (IMNHO) that most bright people do is to jump headlong into everyday problem solving. In a group of bright people time must be dedicated to recruiting bright people. Recognizing intelligence can be done only by intelligent people and this work cannot be easily delegated to people of lower intelligence. ( foresight – this is going to be difficult to implement) Some sort of training and counseling of people should be in place to constantly hammer in the fact that they must not get lost in work.
Bright people must be pushed to the top of the hierarchy as soon as possible. Quite often young people are doing menial jobs and that is not productive for the overall group. Many founders of extraordinary organizations get too caught up in the running of their organization and overlook the fact that there are potential bright people struggling to get a foothold. Many founders do not actively search is what I’m aware off. ( paradoxically they are tormented by the fact of how lonely it's up there at the top of the hierarchy ). Or perhaps they do not know where to look for. Things are now better with the internet. << rephrase this>>

Layoff are almost always not acceptable. With appropriate division of work and commonsensical economics it's nearly always possible to divide work. Exception-People below a certain level of intellect may only work if there the threat of layoff looming large.

Alpha males must not get to the top - they set a bad precedent which is extremely difficult ( if not impossible ) to rectify. A look at most governments is an example. Paradoxically people who are right for a job quite often don't want to do it. Extraordinary privileges/incentives must be granted to them. ( including security in the form of anonymity or otherwise )

All people in the organization must have a rating or number. ( foresight – this is going to be difficult to implement)

When an organization grows bickering among friends/relatives who started out as equal partners may break out. While they were an important part of the business/venture when it started out they should not be given the same powers unless they are meritorious enough. Having mediocre people at the helm of affair not only affect the quality of work but it also discourages bright/capable people from staying on in the organization
Some people may be just designated to think- to have an objective view one must not be overly involved in day to day affairs. It's easy to get caught up in everyday affairs ( personal or otherwise) and not have time for thinking.

If a particular individual/group wants to break off - it must be done in a non-acrimonious manner. If necessary the break-away group/individual can be sufficiently supported in his/their new venture. If the individual fails he/she must be allowed to join back in a respectable manner.
