A business person today used the term. I think he was referring to not following the dogma of business rules in his area of products. Or is it something else?

In a business sense I would use that term to mean that I had no set view, and in reference to the rules wasn't a fundamentalist........likely also means that I would not care too much about how an outcome was acheived (i.e. I would not be looking too closely!).
