Holacracy Workshop Online - March-April

Holacracy 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

"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

[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

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

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.
