Of course there is Semco lead by Ricardo Semler.
Do you know of any "maverick" type companies?
We know of the GE Durham facility.
It seems that Car Fax has some things going for it.
There is Johnsonville Sausage as well.
I know there are groups advocating certain aspects:

And the amount of people talking about this on the web is growing.

You’re looking for “Maverick-like” companies? Companies like Semco? Have you heard about what Best Buy is doing with ROWE (Results-Only Work Environment)? Definitely “Maverick-like” if you ask me. People at their corporate headquarters can do whatever they want, whenever they want, as long as their work gets done – complete trust. It was just written about at Polly LaBarre’s Mavericks at Work blog http://www.mavericksatwork.com/?p=108 and then was mentioned by Seth Godin http://sethgodin.typepad.com/. The creators of ROWE, Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson, have a blog, too – www.caliandjody.com/blog - excellent.
