We Use Holacracy

Why Holacracy?

Holacracy is a modern management framework that helps us shape the constant evolution of our organisation. The idea behind Holacracy is not to achieve some final, ideal stage but to keep driving ideas, improvements and changes, step by step, and to find the best possible solution to every situation.

Holacracy gives you room to breathe and grow and lets you work almost completely without hierarchies.

Many of our innovations start here: Your spontaneous idea becomes a prototype, groundbreaking digital solutions emerge from new roles. You have the freedom to experiment with new technologies and explore unfamiliar fields - always with the goal of creating real added value for our customers.

Dynamic, Efficient, Autonomous

Holacracy makes us agile and responsive. In our fast-paced market environment, we can quickly respond to new challenges. We address our customers' needs promptly and continuously develop as an organization. What does this mean for you specifically.

For our customers:

  • Efficient problem-solving: We develop solutions directly where questions arise - without detours through hierarchical levels.

  • Optimal customer service: Through flexible circle and role composition, we adapt perfectly to our customers' needs.

For your work:

  • Interdisciplinary collaboration: You work across departments and benefit from diverse perspectives.

  • Targeted use of competencies: Your skills and passion are put to optimal use.

  • Equal participation: You are fully involved in decision-making processes - without traditional hierarchies.

  • Transparent processes: All procedures are comprehensible and accessible to everyone.

For innovation:

  • Fast decisions: Short pathways enable flexible and rapid solution-finding.

  • Innovation driver: New technologies and creative approaches emerge directly where they are needed - without lengthy decision-making processes.

  • Efficient workflows: Clear role and task distribution ensures smooth collaboration.

Our organizational structure strengthens your personal responsibility and autonomy. You actively participate, take responsibility and experience how your ideas become reality. After all, work is most enjoyable when it's successful and you can grow in the process.

How Does Holacracy Work?

Holacracy is self-organisation. The power does not lie with a few individuals but is distributed to circles and roles. Circles consist of different roles. Every circle and every role serves a certain purpose and has responsibilities phrased as expectations, not as limitations.

The roles are filled by our employees. We have the authority to make decisions. After all, we know what is right and good.
