"Holacracy is a comprehensive practice for structuring, governing, and running an organization. It replaces today’s top-down predict-and-control paradigm with a new way of achieving control by distributing power. It is a new “operating system” that instills rapid evolution in the core processes of an organization." - HOLACRACY, a Purposeful organisation through social technology
24 11 2014 Solution driven management.
This is a a way of managing issues and finding solutions. Instead of focusing stakeoholders' attention to the roadblocks to reach a personal or a company goal, the solution driven methohology aims at putting attention on the goal itself and 'just' thinking on ways to reach it. Looking too much at the roadblocks, tends to overestimate it and increase risk to fail. Currently, companies are too much problems oriented creating more stress, anxiety, demotivation of employees.
The methodology opens the minds to find creative and powerful solutions by focusing on strengths of individuals or groups and puts everybody on a positive spirit that the goal is achievable. However, roadblocks still exist and must be considered as a side information to be managed. For more information please click here (french info)
