Written by Pim de Morree April 17, 2021

It’s time for the third animation on organizations featured in the Corporate Rebels Academy Earlier we released animations on Haier and Buurtzorg. Now, it’s Viisi - the self-managing mortgage advice company.

Viisi was the first financial services company to implement 100% self-organization. They built their reputation on their unique philosophy: ‘People First, Customers Second, Shareholders Last’.

Viisi is a case study in our 6-week course, "Understanding and designing progressive organization structures". With Viisi, we've developed unique content for Academy students. An example is an animated video on their way of working.

Here’s a sneak preview. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
