HolacracyOne provides training, consulting, certification, licensing, software, and support tools related to Holacracy, a new organizational system which helps organizations generate far more positive and conscious impacts in the world. Holacracy's transformative structure and processes integrate the collective wisdom of people throughout the company, while aligning the organization with its broader purpose and a more organic way of operating. Holacracy takes the principles, ideas, and emerging mindset articulated by many cutting-edge thought leaders, and instills them in the actual structures and processes of the organization. The result is dramatically increased agility, transparency, innovation, and accountability.
The values advanced by B Lab and B Corporations are ones that are important to us and also to our stakeholders. By becoming a B Corporation, we are better able to broadcast our commitment to those values and hopefully set an example of social and environmental responsibility in the our community.
Rarely do organizations live up to their full potential. Regardless of a firm's stage of development, conventional approaches to managing ever-increasing complexity tend to stifle initiative, creativity and agility. Much time and energy is wasted through ineffective meetings, unclear decision-making processes and adherence to rigid structure. A fresh and compelling organizational practice has been steadily gaining attention worldwide for its capacity to effectively address these issues. It’s called Holacracy.
The Change We Seek™
We seek to spread and support Holacracy as a practice for helping organizations to wake up, find their own path in life, and consciously align everything they do with that deeper evolutionary purpose, without human ego getting in the way. We seek to liberate the souls of organizations.
Holacracy’s new paradigm offers opportunities for deeper societal transformation. HolacracyOne has developed formal bylaws which establish Holacracy as an entity’s legally enforceable governance system. It also encodes Holacracy’s organic structure, distributed governance, and integrative decision making systems into the formal power structure of the company. The bylaws pave the way for a legally-grounded alternative to much of what our broader societal governments currently try to achieve. Holacracy has the potential to unite the world in a truly global governance paradigm, and allow coordinated and cohesive action in the face of daunting global challenges.
We support many charitable organizations through donations of services and free training seats, including EnlightenNext, the Association of Unity Churches, IONS, and more.
