Copying your governance to Glassfrog from another sy...

01/27/2017

I did not find any information on this, so here is my tension: We tried out an alternative to Glassfrog and are now switching back. Is there the possibility to add all the Governance changes (because we did not keep Glassfrog updated meanwhile) to Glassfrog without using Governance meetings (e.g....

Asking vs. telling roles to take on a next-action

02/02/2017

4.1.2 a) states that: Other Circle Members may ask you to process any Accountability or Project on a Role you fill in the Circle. If you have no Next-Actions tracked for it, you must identify and capture a Next-Action if there are any reasonable ones you could take. Does this imply that the role-...

12/06/2017

Hi guys, I just quickly wanted to share an insight that has given me a lot of clarity of the use and limits of the Holacracy constitution and why it is so important that everyone in the organizations learns about these rules. It basically served me as the best answer to statements like: "We don't...

Reaction Round after big amendment in Amend/Clarify

09/06/2018

Hello friends, I came across the situation that a couple of partners requested another reaction round from the facilitator after the proposer in a Governance Meeting had completely changed his proposal from just adding a nuance to a role's purpose to adding a new accountability + policy in the am...

Dear all, to what degree are you using the Holacracy competency models found here and have created further ones for specific roles to get a better understanding what exact competency you might require for a role to be fulfilled?

Section 2.6.1 Modifying Sub-circles: Creating roles in Super Circle to push t...

01/12/2017

Hi Anne,from my understanding "constitutionally" you can always create a role in the super-circle and then immediately push it down to the sub-circle within the same Governance meeting.My question here is if this is "good Holacracy practice". Generally the super-circle creates the context of the ...

Using Rep-Link vs. direct tension solving

01/18/2017

@Artem, you are right regarding the Rep Link. Bernard was referring to way number 2 which is becoming a Core Circle Member for one meeting only.[@mention:476716727643924128] This would work as well for me if you actually find someone who feels the exact same tension in the super-circle.

How do sub-circles "talk" to each other

05/26/2017

Hi Morgan, Next to the constitutionally required meetings of Tactical + Governance you can have any kind of other meetings that you find will move the organization forward (or meetings just for fun). Is there e.g. a certain value chain across circles in the org, then you could e.g. come up with a...

Do we create role to avoid operational strategy conflicts?

12/01/2017

Hi [@mention:456308404149183518],for me it is totally common to use Brainstorming or Focus Meetings as a format to gather input and feedback for a specific project that someone wants to push forward to enact his/her accountability. The role in need of input simply asks other roles that are part o...

Processing Asynchronous Governance proposals

09/21/2018

Hi Robert@Oliver,I understand where you are coming from, although I would look at it from a different angle:The integrative decision-making process (IDM) which is the process used in a Governance meeting, is set out to guide the proposer from tension to an accepted proposal. It is 100% the propos...
