Something like outsourcing, but not exactly. The principles could apply just as well to internal customer/service provider relationships. What if internal service providers were paid directly by their internal customers? This idea has intrigued me ever since I read Peter Block's mindbending book /Stewardship/. I highly recommend the book.
