You could say I'm acting as a "Baron". But anybody with the ability to explain the idea and muster the resources can do this. You just do it organically from the bottom-up. It helps to have Sponsor or Baron support, but you don't absolutely require it.
At a hierarchical firm, as a leaf-node worker or even manager this ability to organically form new teams can be virtually impossible. You would need to engage with the secretive hierarchy and ask for permission and resources, and good luck with that.
Central planning doesn't work well, but market principles do. So if enough employees go and form a team to do something, a smart self-organized company will watch the team grow organically and see what happens.
The corporate arm and its resources are there to help this process occur organically. If they interfere and snuff-out organic teams they are going against the principles of self-organization. "Overwatch" team feedback is fine, but remember the system is delicate and fragile.
I've been at google for a little over a year now (as an IC) and so far I've never been told what to work on. There's an over-arching goal of the team, and obv. have to talk things over w/ coworkers, but we kinda just work it out among ourselves.
This may not be the case everywhere at google, but it certainly seems possible to have a fairly self-organizing structure within a larger hierarchy.
"Why self-organizing companies take off - How 2 employees at a Finnish tech firm invented and built a space program": https://nordic.businessinsider.com/why-self-organizing-companies-take-off-how-two-of-our-employees-got-our-firm-to-build-a-satellite--/ … I guess Google is a large enough hierarchical firm that this could happen there.
I mean it's kind of in-between. At least where I'm at. I can't just go off and work on a space program, so there's *some* hierarchical "mandate" about the general area, but within that it's self-organizing.
I do believe at a self-organized firm if you made the business case and branded it correctly you could launch your own space program. Seriously.
