PHASE 1: Initial Orientation and Assessment: Laying the
Foundation for Success

Our two-day, in-person initial orientation and assessment is a crucial starting point for your organization's future. With a team of seasoned experts by your side, we will dive deep into the world of Self-organizations, introducing you to its principles and mechanics during an engaging half-day workshop. This workshop will empower you with the knowledge and understanding needed to embrace the transformative potential of Holacracy fully.

During this phase, we will also meet with all the current "Power Holders" within your organization, engaging in meaningful dialogue to assess your readiness for change. Our experts will gauge your level of Holacracy knowledge and evaluate the engagement levels of both "Early Contributors" and "Power Holders" within your team. By thoroughly assessing your ongoing operations, we will create a roadmap for the FPE Startup Process, clarifying each step along the way. We will also discuss the go/no-go conditions necessary for the key “Power Holders“ to determine if your entity should proceed.

We will guide you in initiating further sharing and exploration with potential Purpose Agents who have the passion and drive to contribute to your entity. Through purpose discovery sessions, we will help you identify the key players who will shape the future of your organization, differentiating between Founding Members and Early Contributors. We understand the importance of recognizing early contributions, and we will ensure they are accounted for through explicit look-backs.

During this phase, we will also facilitate the adoption of the Holacracy Constitution, embedding the principles of self-organization, distributed authority, and transparent decision-making into the fabric of your entity.
