Study Notes

PGE Methodology

  • PGE methodology focuses on different levels (micro, meso, and macro) of business analysis and implementation.

Micro-Level (Personal)

  • Personal Qualities: Key qualities for leadership include vulnerability, patience, communication, listening, and self-care.
  • New Business Literature: These personal qualities require new business literature that supports them. Examples like Brené Brown's work on vulnerability and books on non-violent communication are cited.

Meso-Level (Business)

  • Collaboration vs. Competition: The shift from survival of the fittest to survival of the friendliest is discussed. Cooperation is typically better for all parties than competition.
  • Business is Creative Alignment: Aligning interests is central to successful businesses.. Dutch terminology ("concullega") is referenced. This mindset shifts from scarcity to abundance.

Macro-Level (Systems)

  • Implementing Non-Extraction: Non-extractive companies require legal methods to maintain this aspect of business. Methods such as hybrid structures and specific wording in contracts may be necessary, referencing open-source models as an example.
  • Sales & Marketing: A strong product-market fit is a powerful sales and marketing technique that functions better than traditional marketing. Doing the right thing builds earned media.
  • Management: Horizontal management is effective and stakeholder friendly; management structures like holocracy, sociocracy, and teal are noted.
  • Intellectual Property: Open-source business models where products and services are given away but revenue is generated is better than traditional patent or trademark protection.
  • Law: The true function of a lawyer is to help parties reconcile disputes, through alternatives that don't involve expensive legal battles. Visual and human-readable contracts are on the rise.
  • Pricing: Different pricing strategies are suggested, and cross-subsidization is noted, but also the abuse of cross-subsidization in commercial sectors.
  • Taxes: Non-extractive businesses shouldn't need special tax breaks and should contribute to society and a better world.
  • Retirement: Founder needs for cashing out, middle-class status of entrepreneurs, and creating new opportunities within the company are highlighted. Entrepreneurial risk is often overstated.
