General Company Proposal

This policy defines a new type of currency for the organization, called "Impact Points", which are subject to all of the same rules and policies as any other currency held by the organization. The circle adopting this policy controls an infinite supply of Impact Points.

Once each month's financials are published, each "business line owner" gets control of 1 Impact Point for every $100 in net profit (excluding partner compensation) generated by that business line for that month. A "business line owner" is the broadest role or circle that controls all core functions required for the delivery of a product or service line.

Anyone who controls Impact Points may spend them to fund "bounties" on projects or role assignments. assignments, or loan them to others to do so under any repayment terms the parties may agree upon. Partners may then collect those Impact Points Point bounties by completing those Projects or energizing those role assignments. Once so collected, the points are gone and may not be further spent. Any bounty may optionally include a service level agreement that a Partner must meet in order to collect the bounty. For example, a bounty for filling a customer support role might offer a number of Impact Points per month, but only if the role is energized with at least 20% of full-focus, or only if the role-filler promptly processes all incoming tickets.

Anyone offering bounties must record them in a standardized location and format, and no one may use GlassFrog's Project Value field for any purpose other than to document an Impact Point bounty.

This Policy also adopts the following as a Strategy for this circle and all sub-circles: "Prioritize attention to maximize impact, as measured by the number of Impact Points you earn". That Strategy trumps any other Lead Link prioritizations given.
