Skeleton Startup

Dumb name for a not-so-dumb concept. You're in a lowly position in your organization. But, you've got good ideas. And, there are people in the organization who might be willing to odd jobs if they're paid extra. So, you come up with a plan to create something big and split it up into smaller jobs and ask one of the big bosses if you can advertise the small jobs for people to bid on - and get paid to do. Neat? No need to hire people. No need to think about benefits and all that other junk. You keep building new and useful systems, all while the organization chugs along with its regular work.
