We all live in and with organizations such as companies, project groups, the local authorities, school, associations, churches, political parties and the state. There are many reasons why organizations might not function optimally, most of which however have a common cause: Members begin exploiting their power for their own goals in excess, at the cost of others. Although this is often a known cause in principle, there is a lack of concrete, effective, and practical remedies. Fairness Design offers a systematic solution for it, one that goes to the roots of the issue. Fairness Design enables organization to operate better – for the good of all members – with the establishment of more egalitarian organizational structure, more competition, and more democratic decisions. This paves the way, for example, for good ideas that serve the good of the organization to prevail. Organization members can better develop their skills, are more satisfied, and the organization operates more successfully.
