Holacracy Overview
Self-management through distributed roles and networked authority in the ƒxyz Network
Holacracy at ƒxyz
Self-organizing teams with distributed authority. We don’t just build networks — we operate like one. Roles not titles. Votes not hierarchy. Every proposal is a node, every objection a relation.
What is Holacracy?
Holacracy is a self-management practice where authority is distributed throughout a network of self-organizing teams rather than being vested in a management hierarchy. It provides a concrete framework for encoding and evolving organizational structure.
Core Principles
Distributed Authority Authority is distributed throughout the network via defined roles, not concentrated in individuals.
Role-Based Structure People fill multiple roles with clear purpose, accountabilities, and domains.
Rapid Evolution Tensions and objections drive continuous organizational evolution and adaptation.
Aligning with Our Network Philosophy
Everything is a network. Our organizational structure mirrors our technical architecture:
- Roles as Network Nodes: Each role is a node in our governance network, with defined inputs, outputs, and processing capabilities
- Proposals as Transactions: Governance changes flow through the network like transactions, validated by consent-based consensus
- Objections as Network Security: Objections act like network validation - preventing harmful changes from propagating through the system
The Holacracy Constitution
Our governance operates according to the Holacracy Constitution v5.0, which provides:
Core Components
- Organizational Structure: Circles & Roles
- Rules of Cooperation: Authority & Accountability
- Tactical Meetings: Operational Coordination
- Governance Process: Structural Evolution
- Distributed Authority: Decision Rights
ƒxyz Adaptations
- Network-centric role definitions: Roles designed around network topology concepts
- Integration with DAO mechanisms: Token-based governance enhances role-based authority
- Graph database visualization: Real-time organizational structure mapping
- Token-based accountability systems: Performance and contribution tracking
- Cross-chain governance protocols: Multi-network coordination mechanisms
Implementation
Live Visualization
Experience our holacracy in action through our interactive organizational structure, powered by Neo4j graph visualization.
Documentation Structure
- Constitution: Our network-specific constitutional framework
- Roles: Detailed role definitions and accountabilities
- Integration: How holacracy integrates with DAO governance
Next Steps
- Learn the Framework: Review the official Holacracy Constitution
- Explore Our Implementation: Visit our live holacracy visualization
- Understand Integration: Read how we combine holacracy with DAO governance
- Get Involved: Participate in our governance processes through defined roles and circles
