ADOPT

A Self-Directed or Coach-Led, step-by-step online program for adopting (or adapting) Holacracy in your team or organisation, at your own pace. We've created the program and are pleased to deliver it in partnership with HolacracyOne as part of their suite of Holacracy Courses.

If you adopt Holacracy in your team or organisation, then you'll need to understand, learn how to apply and adopt the Holacracy Constitution.

It's not rocket science, but it's also easier said than done, and almost impossible to do it successfully and sustainably without suppport.

Our online Adoption Program will equip you to adopt Holacracy or adapt it to your own version of Self-Organizing- though this is often more work and expense in the long run. It provides support and guidance for adopting each article of the Holacracy Constitution separately and in whatever order works for you in a modular fashion.

MORE ABOUT TAKEAWAYS, IMPACTS & RECOMMENDATIONS...

Here's the full text of the latest v5 of the Holacracy Constitution.

Our Adoption Program is divided into 5 parts, 1 part for each of the 5 articles of the Constitution, with a structured learning journey to take your team through a monthly cycle of:

introducing new content
providing homework for trying out new practices
survey questions to check progress at every stage
options for getting help from expert coaches when needed.

Here's some excerpts from the Adoption Program to show what's included:

simple 1 or 2 page summaries of each of the 5 articles; with links to videos/digital resources included in the Adoption Program (these won't work unless you've signed up or it links to a free preview)
content list of each of the 5 parts of the Adoption Program, including links to some free previews.

How to do it? Adopt or Adapt? Are you Ready?

Holacracy is best introduced into your organisation in small steps, so that new practices can be learnt, embedded and built on each other.

Our affordable online Holacracy Adoption Program delivered in partnership with HolacracyOne as part of their suite of online Holacracy Courses will enable you to either adopt or adapt Holacracy in a flexible way, at your own pace.

But before diving in- do you know that your team/organisation is ready for it? If not then introduce them to the basics with our Understand Self-Organizing program, and then take our Readiness Assessment to see how ready your team/organisation members really are.
