The practice of Holacracy is real, practical and multi-faceted. The structure allows teams and organizations to focus on what they want to get done.

- Kallie Kendle, Senior Solutions Analyst, GlaxoSmithKline

[Holacracy] is the first really second-tier technology that was created from a third-tier holding space. It is radical if adopted and not easy to facilitate. Also takes away the ego and biases of all attending. If done well, fantastically much gets done in meetings, in the organization, and [...] in an iterative fashion.

- Dr. Susanne Cook-Greuter, Cook-Greuter and Associates, LLC

I just attended your free webinar about Holacracy. It was really, really great – thank you! I have read the downloadable PDF that you make available on your website. I found it was a good introduction, but doing a live webinar is a whole other level.

- Marc Pell, EnlightenNext (UK)

Holacracy is about getting things done faster and more effectively. Every person involved not only has a voice, but is called on to participate in full transparency, accountability and capacity towards the goal and vision of the organization.

- Uli Nagel, Writer

We’ve used Holacracy to solve issues around recruiting, corporate vision, pricing, project assignments, and potential, new corporate structures. We’ve introduced the approach to clients – and those that are ready to embrace it have dramatically improved their productivity.

- Skip Shuda, Founder, Team and a Dream

I was so blown away by the Holacracy Facilitator Training, it was one of the most moving experiences I have been through. I could see myself and the other participants learning and improving every hour throughout the entire 5 day workshop. I highly recommend the Holacracy Facilitator Training to deepen your understanding of Holacracy.

- Michael Dobbins, Independent Consultant

Holacracy is the integral operating system for the integral organization. It is a generative practice that brings energy, innovation, consciousness, intentionality and a whole-system perspective to all aspects of leadership, governance, decision-making and capacity building.

- Dr. Gary Simmons, Association of Unity Churches International

What Lean Manufacturing is to operational improvement, Holacracy is to overall enterprise efficiency and effectiveness. Speed, clarity and action from top to bottom.

- Tom Curren, Former SVP Strategy Development, Marriott Corporation

The Holacracy training provided a perfect blend of the model and the method. We practiced Holacracy in a live setting – the whole experience was transformative.

- Skip Shuda, Founder, Team and a Dream

I have been looking for a business approach which breaks the mechanistic chains of the traditional organization, breathing life into the workplace. Holacracy is the answer.

Experiential Workshop (Online)

Holacracy is a comprehensive practice for governing and running our organizations - a new organizational operating system. With its transformative structure and processes, Holacracy integrates the collective wisdom of people throughout the company, while aligning the organization with its broader purpose and a more organic way of operating. The result is dramatically increased agility, transparency, innovation, and accountability. Holacracy takes the principles, ideas, and emerging mindset articulated by cutting-edge thought leaders, and instills them in the actual structures and processes of the organization. It grounds them in practice and brings them to life.

This thorough and experiential introduction to Holacracy covers all of its core components through interactive presentation, hands-on exercises, and immersive simulations.

Learning Objectives

In this training, participants will:

Experience Holacracy in action via hands-on exercises and immersive simulations
Gain a deeper awareness of habits and practices that come from a "Predict & Control" mindset, and get a first-hand feel for Holacracy's "Dynamic Steering" alternatives
Experience the Integrative Decision-Making process used in Holacracy's transformative Governance Meetings
Interactively explore Holacracy's self-organizing structure and double-linking paradigm, and learn how it scales across organizations small and large
Experience Holacracy's lightning-quick, action-focused Tactical Meetings
Learn the structure behind Holacracy's purpose-driven board, and see the broader vision for scaling Holacracy across multiple organizations and broader society
Connect the dots to see Holacracy's end-to-end approach for moving from aim to action, and understand how it can ground the most abstract purpose in concrete next-actions to reach it
