What can I do?
The Holacracy add-on is designed to support your Holacracy practice from adoption to execution, and help you build the skills and habits needed.
Steer the implementation and ensure safe practice of Holacracy
The add-on offers all the settings you need to apply the rules, structure and processes of the Holacracy framework and make sure the settings are consistent across your workspace. It allows you to:
Assign transformation leaders as managers of the app who will be in charge of setting up your workspace according to your practice.
Lock the customisation options to prevent admins and circle admins to override them, ensuring consistent and aligned practices across circles.
Disable asynchronous proposals to make sure governance decisions are processed only during governance meetings.
Foster adoption among teams
The add-on makes the adoption and understanding of Holacracy easier by providing tips and definitions directly on the platform, in real time.
The add-on comes with a sequence of 12 emails about Holacracy, from learning about the basics to building good habits. You may enable the email sequence and help your team get familiarized with Holacracy.
Definition of common Holacracy terms and processes are displayed across your workspace behind the "Holacracy tips" button.
