What Lean Manufacturing is to operational improvement, Holacracy is to overall enterprise efficiency and effectiveness. Speed, clarity and action from top to bottom.

- Tom Curren, Former SVP Strategy Development, Marriott Corporation

I was so blown away by the Holacracy Facilitator Training, it was one of the most moving experiences I have been through. I could see myself and the other participants learning and improving every hour throughout the entire 5 day workshop. I highly recommend the Holacracy Facilitator Training to deepen your understanding of Holacracy.

- Michael Dobbins, Independent Consultant

The Holacracy training provided a perfect blend of the model and the method. We practiced Holacracy in a live setting – the whole experience was transformative.

- Skip Shuda, Founder, Team and a Dream

[Holacracy] is the first really second-tier technology that was created from a third-tier holding space. It is radical if adopted and not easy to facilitate. Also takes away the ego and biases of all attending. If done well, fantastically much gets done in meetings, in the organization, and [...] in an iterative fashion.

- Dr. Susanne Cook-Greuter, Cook-Greuter and Associates, LLC

We’ve used Holacracy to solve issues around recruiting, corporate vision, pricing, project assignments, and potential, new corporate structures. We’ve introduced the approach to clients – and those that are ready to embrace it have dramatically improved their productivity.

- Skip Shuda, Founder, Team and a Dream

The practice of Holacracy is real, practical and multi-faceted. The structure allows teams and organizations to focus on what they want to get done.

- Kallie Kendle, Senior Solutions Analyst, GlaxoSmithKline

Holacracy is about getting things done faster and more effectively. Every person involved not only has a voice, but is called on to participate in full transparency, accountability and capacity towards the goal and vision of the organization.

- Uli Nagel, Writer

I have been looking for a business approach which breaks the mechanistic chains of the traditional organization, breathing life into the workplace. Holacracy is the answer.

- Dathane Turner, Graduate Student

Holacracy is the integral operating system for the integral organization. It is a generative practice that brings energy, innovation, consciousness, intentionality and a whole-system perspective to all aspects of leadership, governance, decision-making and capacity building.

- Dr. Gary Simmons, Association of Unity Churches International

Brian Robertson

Brian Robertson is known internationally as an early pioneer of Holacracy™, a new organizational operating system noted for dramatically increasing agility, transparency, innovation, and accountability. Mr. Robertson's initial work with Holacracy took place at Ternary Software, an award-winning fast-growth software consulting company he founded in 2001 and led as CEO through 2007. The company continually experimented with new methods of organizing and working together, while integrating the work of many cutting-edge movements and thought-leaders. The resulting system was named Holacracy and made its public debut in 2006 via interviews and writings, including a prominent article in the Wall Street Journal. Holacracy has continued to evolve and spread in the years since under the stewardship of HolacracyOne, an organization Mr. Robertson co-founded to further develop the method and bring it to the world, and it is now an international movement with a broad community of supporters. Mr. Robertson currently works with HolacracyOne to catalyze and support Holacracy's adoption across the globe. See his Roles & Accountabilities.
