Holacracy™ takes the principles of Agile and applies them to the total governance of an organization. It’s a new approach to structuring and running an organization that offers an alternative to the traditional corporate hierarchy. It is currently spreading very rapidly in Europe and the United States, and David Allen describes it as “Getting Things Done” (GTD) for organizations.
In Holacracy, authority is distributed in a facilitated “governance” process that combines efficiency with a unique form of consensus. Within their accountabilities, individuals have absolute authority, and cannot be overridden by a “manager”. Tactical meetings are known for their ruthless efficiency and focus on solving issues for the “next action”.
Join us to learn more about Holacracy, participate in a simulated governance meeting, and hear from the CEO of a startup company in the Bay Area that has been using Holacracy for 1 ½ years.
