Never before in human history have we faced a world of such complexity and change, unfolding at a dizzying pace. How will we organize to meet these challenges?
Even our most progressive approaches to human organization are proving insufficient for navigating today’s complex and rapidly changing world. What new forms of organizational design, governance and steering might offer greater agility, flexibility, transparency and health? If we enter into new agreements and rewrite the rules of human engagement, could we make a quantum leap in organizing — one as transformational as the leap from the feudal systems of old to our modern democracies?
In response to these compelling questions, a powerful possibility is emerging at the leading edge of organizational theory and practice, pioneered in a real-world organization, a living laboratory for new methods, amidst the day-to-day challenges every business must face. It’s called Holacracy, and it changes much of what we think we know about human organization.
