If I was at a wealthy and powerful self organizing company with all the things I now know, I would have to immediately start a team and grow it then attack some important problem. You can organically do that at a self-organizing firm. You can't just do that at a hierarchical firm
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.
