Holacracy
CCMI uses a governance tool called Holacracy to help organize our team. Holacracy is a method for structuring the organization with a clear way of defining roles and accountabilities and a structure for sharing that information across the team. The philosophy of Holacracy is that individuals and teams in organizations should be empowered to self manage their own work. This is different from a traditional hierarchy where roles are often governed “from above”. If you are interested in leaning more please reach out to us at info@centrecmi.ca or check out some information on the Holacracy website: https://www.holacracy.org/what-is-holacracy
