Holacracy is a new management model for organisations, whereby authority is distributed in an organic, flat structure with \u2018circles\u2019 (teams) and \u2018roles\u2019 (defining the responsibilities each team member has). Due to its distributed authority system each employee is empowered to decide how to energise their \u2018roles\u2019 and bears the responsibility for its operation.<\/p>\n<h2>Holacracy &amp; Springest<\/h2>\n<p>Since 2012 Springest has been using Holacracy as a way to grow without the potential barriers of bureaucracy. Due to the dynamic and transparent structure, the organisation is able to stay agile. In Holacracy the mission (purpose) of the entire organisation and the objectives of all activities are central. Tensions and problems cannot be swept under the carpet, but serve as fuel for the development of the organisation. This is done by means of effective meetings, with plenty of room for initiative and influence of all team members.<\/p>\n<p>While introducing Holacracy, Springest was supported by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/energized.org\/en\/about-energized-org\/\">Energized.org<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a licensed Holacracy implementation training\u00a0provider. Energized.org strives for the creation of environments where work becomes liberated from traditional constraints. You can find multiple implementation stories on their blog, one of them is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@Energized\/about-the-continuous-evolution-of-her-team-lowered-stress-factors-and-more-holacracy-related-b415f05405f4#.1zbk1vawx\">the story of our colleague Debbie<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Articles about Holacracy practice at Springest<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Medium:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@Energized\/about-the-continuous-evolution-of-her-team-lowered-stress-factors-and-more-holacracy-related-b415f05405f4#.1zbk1vawx\">About the continuous evolution of her team, lowered stress-factors and more Holacracy-related topics.

It\u00a0 shows two manager types discussing red graphs going down, while an employee stands in the background, ignored, with an idea and green graph going up. It reads: \u201cWhat if we let people make decisions and they\u2019re wrong? | What if we don\u2019t, and they\u2019re right?\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The idea behind the cartoon is that Holacracy makes decisions \u201ccheaper\u201d by creating a bottom up approach to decision making. It allows for rapid iteration and experimentation. That way, decisions become more\u00a0data\u00a0driven, since they\u2019re grounded in reality and proven by experimentation. That in turn makes bad decisions become less costly, and good decisions more likely to bubble up in the organisation.<\/p>\n<p>Click on the image on the right for a bigger version.
