Why We Started With Holacracy
We were already familiar with Holacracy from a previous company and had come to appreciate it. It quickly became clear that we wanted to use this organizational form when founding Groundfog, and we have never regretted it.
Our Biggest Win
The greatest success is not singular, but continuous. It is simply impressive to see how the company's governance changes in response to shifting internal and external conditions, as employees within their respective roles and responsibilities adapt accordingly.
Our Biggest Challenge
Since we have been using Holacracy in our company from day one and already had a lot of experience with it, there were no problems with adaptation at any point.
