Purpose: Transforming human experience through digital solutions
8Squad is a next-generation consultancy that helps organisations unlock sustainable high performance through the fusion of Salesforce, AI, and human potential. We don’t just implement systems—we embed capability. Our approach combines deep technical expertise with a unique people-first transformation model, built around adaptive leadership, behavioral science, and decentralised decision-making. Whether it’s driving customer experience, streamlining operations, or building AI-enabled cultures, 8Squad delivers lasting impact by designing solutions that work in the real world—not just on a slide deck. We partner with ambitious organisations ready to evolve how they think, work, and lead.
Why We Started With Holacracy
We adopted Holacracy because we believe that organisations of the future need to be self organising to keep up with market disruption. Linear models are no longer compatible with the pace of technological change
Our Biggest Win
Our greatest success is when one of the most junior recourses in the business was able to drive a decision that the CEO didn’t agree with. This demonstrated the power of Holacracy. It was the right call BTW
Our Biggest Challenge
People say they want autonomy and accountability until they are faced with it. Most people are still conditioned to linear hierarchy and that is a significant change management process to help people really understand how to flourish inside a Holacracy driven organisation
