This case targets Kit Hindrichs, a 65 year-old partner at Pentagram, a privately-owned multidisciplinary design firm. One of the world's most prestigious design companies, Pentagram was founded by five designers from different areas in London in the 1970s. By the year 2008, Pentagram stayed small, with less than 30 associates a veritable star in their own right.
Further, Pentagram had no corporate office; each associate was expected to manage their own financial, marketing, and human resource functions. The second principle of Pentagram was kindness. All partners were equal shareholders in the firm.
