The Holacracy Foundation, an upcoming nonprofit initiative initiated by HolacracyOne, is currently in its formative stages and is set to become the dedicated steward of the Holacracy framework.
Our focus is to promote Holacracy’s worldwide growth and accessibility through a strong network of partners who facilitate its adoption. We’re dedicated to extending Holacracy’s reach and impact across diverse organizations globally.
What is Holacracy?
Holacracy is a management framework that replaces the traditional management hierarchy. It enables an organization to be more flexible and adaptable to its environment, while at the same time ensuring clarity and accountability.
What We Do
- We are continually improving the Holacracy framework by integrating feedback from users into new versions of the Holacracy constitution. See development
- We actively engage with the media to increase awareness of Holacracy and self-management.
- We manage a licensing program for organizations interested in offering Holacracy-related services. Learn more about licensing
- We’re currently working on the next version of the licensing program. It will be a major upgrade setting the evolution of Holacracy to be governed by a token-based decentralized system that we maintain, promoting fairness and involvement.
Backstory
The inception of the Holacracy model traces back to a series of experiments at a software company, Ternary Software, spearheaded by entrepreneur Brian Robertson.
Brian Robertson and business partner Thomas Thomison later founded HolacracyOne, dedicated to refining the Holacracy framework and assisting organizations in its implementation.
In 2023, HolacracyOne took a bold step towards decentralization by initiating the establishment of the Holacracy Foundation. HolacracyOne is in the process of transferring the intellectual property of Holacracy to the Holacracy Foundation.
