Policy changed: Project Prioritization Using Value/ROI

Text changed:
  • Any estimates of "Effort" and "Value" entered in GlassFrog must follow the exponential sequence: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. If a Value of a Project has been specified in GlassFrog by a Lead Link, then the ROI calculated from it shall be considered the official Lead Link prioritization.

Policy changed: Certification Requirements for Delivery

Text changed:
  • All restrictions in place around delivery of Holacracy-branded services for licensed Agents, as defined in the latest version of the Holacracy Agent Agreement published by @Licensing_Design, shall also apply to and limit the delivery of services tied to the Holacracy brand by anyone authorized to impact a relevant Domain of the Organization (e.g. a partner of HolacracyOne or of a cross-linked Licensed Provider who fills a relevant role). This policy shall not restrict the marketing of services, regardless of what's defined in the Agent Agreement - just the delivery.No one may deliver Holacracy-branded services without a current Holacracy certification. Those with a Holacracy certification may do so only when licensed to do so personally or when acting on behalf of a licensed entity. The following further restrictions per certification level must also be honored (capitalized terms have the definition given in the most current licensing contract published by @Licensing_Design):

    Certified Holacracy Practitioner

    If your highest level of Holacracy certification is “Certified Holacracy Practitioner”:
    • You may only deliver Holacracy-branded events that are presentations of 2 hours or less, and that do not include any live meeting simulations or similar demonstrations. You may not claim such events are teaching skills or otherwise building or resulting in skills for the use or application of Holacracy.
    • You may only deliver Holacracy-branded events using a standard event design published by HolacracyOne. You may not make any significant changes to this design or any materials used in delivery, unless approval is explicitly granted by a relevant role in HolacracyOne.
    • You may not deliver Licensed Discovery Sessions, except in an assisting capacity when an authorized person is leading the delivery.
    • You may not sell or deliver Licensed Services whatsoever.

    Certified Holacracy Facilitator

    If your highest level of Holacracy certification is “Certified Holacracy Facilitator”:
    • You may only deliver Holacracy-branded events of up to 8 hours; they may include live meeting simulations or similar demonstrations. You may not claim such events are teaching skills or otherwise building or resulting in skills for the use or application of Holacracy.
    • You may only deliver Holacracy-branded events using a standard event design published by HolacracyOne. You may not make any significant changes to this design or any materials used in delivery, unless approval is explicitly granted by a relevant role in HolacracyOne.
    • You may only sell and deliver Licensed Discovery Sessions if: (a) the session is co-delivered with an individual carrying a “Master Coach” Holacracy certification, or such an individual actively coaches you while you prepare for delivery and plan follow-up actions; and (b) you use a standard session design, session objectives, and the Licensed Materials provided by HolacracyOne, with no significant additions or changes unless approved by the Master Coach working with you on the delivery.
    • You may only sell and deliver Licensed Services if a Certified Holacracy Coach is reserved to support you side-by-side throughout the entire delivery.

    Certified Holacracy Coach

    If your highest level of Holacracy Certification is “Certified Holacracy Coach”:
    • You may only deliver Holacracy-branded events of up to 8 hours; they may include live meeting simulations or similar demonstrations, and you may customize the design or materials for the event. You may not claim such events are teaching skills or otherwise building or resulting in skills for the use or application of Holacracy.
    • You may only sell and deliver Licensed Services if: (a) you are under the regular guidance and active coaching of an individual who carries the “Master Coach” Holacracy certification throughout the contracting and delivery of Licensed Services, and (b) that Master Coach continues to believe the engagement for your Licensed Services has a reasonable chance of providing value to the client without harming the brand image and reputation of the Licensed Marks.

    Certified Holacracy Master Coach

    If your highest level of Holacracy certification is “Certified Holacracy Master Coach”, then this policy has no effect; you may sell and deliver Licensed Offerings in any way that you are otherwise authorized to do so, without further restriction.

Policy removed: Certification Requirement for Training

Policy removed:
  • Regardless of and further limiting any Domain delegations, no Representative of the Holacracy brand may deliver Holacracy trainings without a Certified Holacracy Master Coach credential; "training" means any multi-day event marketed as building skills to apply Holacracy.
