But at the same time some of us Fingertippers (*cough, our founder, *cough) are children of the 80s and like to play this wonderful racket sport in their free time. You probably wonder what decisions and tennis have in common or if you have arrived at the wrong website. But fear not, this is still Fingertip...

What we talk about when we talk about decisions

A wise man once wrote ‘What’s in a name? that which we call a decision. By any other name would stay as sweet…’. Decisions is the backbone to modern work. In fact improving the process with which organizations make decisions bears the highest growth potential.

Empowering for holacracy

Racing to get stuff done

Have you ever received an email that was addressed to two or more people, and by addressed we mean the to field, not carbon copy or cc as it is more known. Most typically that email came from someone who wanted something to be done. Let’s roll some bones and take a wild guess, when you received that email that went to you and say 3 other colleagues, who of you felt the instant need...
