holakratiallinen

Holakratiallinen refers to something pertaining to Holacracy, a management system. Holacracy is a modern organizational governance framework that aims to distribute authority and decision-making throughout an organization. Instead of a traditional hierarchical structure with managers and subordinates, Holacracy organizes work into self-managing teams called "circles." These circles are accountable for specific roles and processes.

Within a Holacracy structure, power is embedded in roles rather than people. Individuals can hold multiple roles across different circles, and their responsibilities are defined by explicit "governance." This governance is established and modified through a structured process, ensuring clarity and adaptability. Decisions are made through a "governance meeting" where proposals for changes are discussed and adopted if they meet certain criteria, often referred to as "does not cause harm and is not significantly more expensive."

The holakratiallinen approach emphasizes transparency, clear accountabilities, and rapid adaptation to changing circumstances. It seeks to empower individuals by giving them direct control over their work and the processes they are involved in. This contrasts with traditional management, where decisions are often top-down. The system aims to reduce bureaucracy and enable more agile responses to market demands. Implementation of Holacracy can involve significant changes in organizational culture and established ways of working.
