What is Holacracy?
Most organizations struggle with slow decision-making, unclear roles, and top-down bottlenecks. The Holacracy® framework is a self-management system—an operating system for organizations that replaces traditional management hierarchies with a structured, role-based system for distributed authority.
The Holacracy system provides clarity, structure, and agility, ensuring that teams can work autonomously while staying aligned with the organization’s purpose. However, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution—each organization builds on top of Holacracy to fit its unique needs, culture, and business model.
