Since the rise of the industrial age, the paradigm most prevalent in companies and business management has been that of "corporation as machine". In this worldview, employees are often viewed as cogs in the machine, and the purpose of their efforts and of the machine itself is to generate profit for the owners of the machine. This worldview is extremely limiting and often unfulfilling for those involved. It creates environments where people come together only out of convenience and necessity, to get a paycheck in exchange for pursuing someone else's visions and desires. At best, this creates a relationship of "an honest day's work for an honest day's pay"; at worst, it becomes adversarial and dehumanizing, as each party uses the other as a replaceable part and partnership is lost.

Ternary is built around a different design, and it leads to a radically different culture and business structure than we’re used to seeing in organizations today. A deeper exploration of Ternary’s unique culture and structure is included as part of Ternary’s interview process. If you’d like to learn more in the meantime, there are audio recordings about our culture linked from the CEO’s personal blog, and you can find more about Ternary’s unique governance system in this article, or by exploring www.holacracy.org.
