"One great Idea doesn't make a great company - Management today means, to create an inspiring environment where thousands of new ideas evolve every day and where employees share, develop and implement their ideas collaboratively. The success of an enterprise today depends on its ability to find a balanced culture of innovation and implementation."
Markus Hegi – Founder and CEO |

Confusion is another permanent element of our culture. Socrates, with his famous sentence 'I know, I know nothing', has taught us that un-learning and confusion are the first necessary steps towards new ideas and learning. The learning process in Colayer never stops because the same is true for un-learning and confusion. To be rigid is to be static and only open minds with a learning spirit can manifest and harness the great potential of knowledge.

All decisions and policies are openly discussed and the concept of confidentiality in Colayer has been reduced to a bare minimum. Transparency not only reduces risks, but it is also the only way to create TRUST in a free environment with focus on innovation. Trust ensures a free flow of knowledge and better performance. Open and transparent communication is the way to create a learning environment that serves as a long-term competitive advantage.

"None of us is as smart as all of us". We constantly use our collective brainpower to come up with the best solutions. All Colayer employees work closely in synchronization and the amount of many-to-many collaboration is very high. Co-creation, co-working, co-learning are our fundamental values. All work and idea creation takes place on the comties of the layer, which gives every employee the possibility to participate and discuss all work under progress. Collaboration has been practiced and made a part of everyday work at Colayer.

Our office space is 'minimalist' in the sense that we have removed any physical or communication walls in the organization. We have applied the same basic rules which underlie the Colayer platform. We made the space as open and inspiring as possible to give creative minds space to innovate.
|
|
We do not encourage any rigid structures and hierarchies. The focus in Colayer is on the 'authority of knowledge' and not on the 'authority of position'. Errors and mistakes are welcomed, openly discussed and used as a source for learning. Enjoying open spaces for open minds, Colayer employees work more freely and concentrate on knowledge creation and distribution, bringing value to the entire organization and its network of partners and customers.
|
|
In Colayer, you will not find any personally assigned workplaces and computers. Every employee, and especially the team leaders and management members often change their workplaces, acting as 'knowledge distributors' and 'inspirers'. As all data and information is shared on our own application, shifting workplaces takes no time and effort.
