Holacracy
Holocracy instead of rigid
structures.
In the spirit of new work, we also embrace the concept of holocracy. Our self-directed teams enable us to react to new market and customer requirements in an agile and efficient way, allowing us to make independent decisions. We are all equals. No forced management levels, no forced titles.
Our goal is to keep an eye on everything and provide everyone with room for personal growth. Our employees are the greatest good and we foster the integration of different cultural and professional backgrounds. Only employees that are enabled to think out of the box, make mistakes, and are encouraged to try something new will contribute to the future viability of their company. Only those who have the opportunity to think creatively and innovatively or make mistakes and are encouraged to try out new things will support the future viability of their company.
For an
innovative future.
Together we work and live according to the principles
It doesn't help to just talk about it. Only when we ourselves are innovative, agile and flexible can we deliver the best possible results for our customers.
Roles and circles.
Instead of rigid structures.
We describe and organize our work in roles and circles – on one level. This creates transparency and clarity on the tasks and expectations and allows for shortened decision-making processes and faster onboarding.
Our framework lays the foundation for this. It specifies the most important processes and rules. All roles are rooted in different circles, which are defined in so-called governance meetings.
Guest on the podcast
We were guests on the Education Newscast hosted by Thomas Jenewein from SAP. Christine Pfisterer and Rico Brenner explain why and how we introduced Holacracy. They report on basic principles such as circles, roles and responsibilities and the importance of hierarchies. They also talk about the benefits and how these changes can have a positive impact on our day-to-day work and how they can actually benefit any organisation.
How it works
Holacracy:
The roles
Circle Lead
The Circle Lead is a strategic role within every circle that is chosen by the Circle Lead of the superior circle. They represent the circle’s responsibilities to the outside and provide for the circle’s structure on the inside. The success of the circle is to be made measurable and corresponding measures contributing to the company-wide OKRs are to be derived.
Facilitator
The Facilitator moderates the circle’s meetings and ensures the process reliability. This way, every tension can be handled with respect.
Secretary
The role of the Secretary organizes the meetings, takes the minutes during the meeting to assist the Facilitator, and interprets the framework and the governance decisions of the circle.
The meeting structure
This self-directed and autonomous working method creates an agile working environment for our organization and our employees.
