I went into this article thinking it'd be a puff piece, but the details about holacracy are very well done and a lot of the insights are more or less actionable even if you're at a more traditionally-organized company.
Something that doesn't get talked about too much is how popular holocratic structures are in non-profits, either formally or informally.
- nomade0 13y agoIn my experience, there are less non-profits formally working with Holacracy mostly because they can't afford hiring the consultants to help them adopt it. And it's not easy to adopt on your own - it goes against a lot of oft-entrenched habits. That said I know that many have tried, though I don't know how it's going because I'm not even indirectly involved. Interestingly, the distinction between for- and non-profit is less relevant with Holacracy. The bottom line is effectively the (explicit, written-down) purpose of the organization.
