Operators, not theorists: how Anima Group works

The working principles behind Anima Group: small teams, minimal hierarchy, and a stubborn focus on speed and simplicity.

Anima Group

Every company has values on a wall somewhere. We would rather describe how we actually work.

We are operators

We build and run our own e-commerce platforms, so what we believe gets tested against real customers and real orders. If an idea does not survive contact with the business, we drop it.

Hierarchy is minimal

Decisions are made close to the work by the people who understand it. A good argument counts for more than a job title. Conviction is everything, and so is changing your mind when the evidence does.

Stay lean, deploy the right expertise

We prefer a small group of highly capable people to a large organisation that needs managing. When a problem needs a specialist, we bring the right one to it.

Speed is a feature

Speed shows up twice for us. Customers should feel it in every interaction, and it should describe how quickly the team can go from noticing a problem to fixing it.

Simplicity is harder than it looks

It is easy to add a feature and far harder to remove the need for one. We are obsessed with simplicity and user experience because shoppers do not owe us their patience.

Consumer obsessed, commercially ruthless

Those two ideas are meant to sit together. The best way to build a durable business is to give people better experiences, better prices and better products. The discipline is in refusing to spend time on anything that does not help.
