Restricting team size to power global growth

dania.gerhardt

Most successful Drupal shops grow based on the demand for more resources. Growth brings along a variety of challenges and often leads to disappointed clients and unhappy team members. What if you restricted the size of a team at one geographical location, and instead started a new location?

Amazee Labs consciously decided to take this path. A few years ago the Board restricted team sizes to 21 people. In 2014 an office was opened in Texas, USA and in June 2015 an office will open at a third location. This globalisation strategy brings a different set of challenges than growing big at one place. Why does it make sense to implement this pressure valve, and why should you step out of your home turf?

Dania will explain why this non-obvious path can lead to a very fruitful outcome for both, team and clients.
