  Bernard Marie CHIQUET is a multi-Entrepreneur and was Senior Partner/Senior Executive in large organizations for 15 years (Ernst&Young, Capgemini, Volkswagen). He founded the Integral Governance Institute 7 years ago and is a European Leader in the practice of Holacracy.

  Bernard Marie believes that in order to evolve and address our current issues, we must first change the core organizational structure so that we can govern on behalf of the organization’s higher purpose. He proposes new practices based on this assumption and a new paradigm shift: the organization is seen as a living being, with its own identity and higher purpose, processing tensions channelled by human beings (in service of the organization) toward evolution, through dynamic steering. One on these parctices is called Holacracy™.

  Holacracy™ is an organizational “operating system” – a new social technology for running purpose-driven, responsive companies. Holacracy’s transformative structure and processes integrate the collective wisdom of people throughout a company, while aligning the organization with its broader purpose and a more organic way of operating. Holacracy fundamentally changes the power structure in an organization, both distributing leadership throughout the company, and shifting the seat of authority from “managers” to a constitutionally-powered governance process. The result is dramatically increased agility, transparency, innovation, and accountability.

  Sociocracy: new governance structure for organizations

  Companies are relying more and more on people's brain power instead of their physical capacity. From this sprout the creative ideas necessary to maintain a competitive edge. This asks for a culture in which creativity can flourish. A culture that can handle the tension that generate new ideas, differing opinions and the challenging of existing opinions.

  Companies are relying more and more on people's brain power instead of their physical capacity. From this sprout the creative ideas necessary to maintain a competitive edge. This asks for a culture in which creativity can flourish. A culture that can handle the tension that generate new ideas, differing opinions and the challenging of existing opinions. It must offer room to chaos and order at the same time.

  Our existing governance structures have big trouble dealing with these seemingly contraditory demands. The reason for that is that they are based on a linear top down line of command, This limits creativity since it gives leadership the authority to ignore (good) ideas and measurements. Therefore we need cyclical decision making structures. Structures in which feed back from the bottom up has an equivalent position to the top down command structure.

  There is a governance structure that can do this: sociocracy or as it is called in the anglo saxon community 'dyamic governance'. This is a governance structure based on equivalence in decision making that offers room for chaos and order. It combines a cyclical structure for policy making at all levels of an organization with a linear command structure for the execution of policy.

  With almost 50 years of experience in different countries and organizations sociocray has proven its value. In The Netherlands this has resulted in recognition by the government of sociocracy being an legal alternative to the works council.

  Based on four basic construction rules it can help any existing organization to turn tself into a creativity booster. More info www.sociocracy.com, governancealive.com, www.sociocratie.nl.
