The case

Why we use it

Each circle should be able to work in a maximally self-organized way. However, people also need rules and guidance in their work, which the colleagues establish with the constitution of a circle.

The mechanics

How It Works

At the first working meeting the colleagues work out their constitution based on their work order given by the founding circle. The seven recommended elements of the constitution require a 2h working session.

The purpose

What is the goal of the model?

A clear setup of a new organizational circle. The colleagues have agreed on the scope of work, the meeting and learning rhythms in order to fulfill their purpose. It is agreed which colleagues work how much time in this circle and which roles they take on. Each constitution is public which allows self-organized resource management and to ensure the purpose of each circle matches the overall value creation.

Beyond the download

Use this model in Axibra, not only in a slide deck

The PDF is yours to keep. But a model changes something only when it touches the work — and that is what Axibra does with it. The model becomes the structure your decisions are made in, and every outcome stays traceable back to the input it came from.

In practice

Where this model does its work

For years we applied this model by hand, in client engagements. It now runs inside Axibra.

Culture and organization

Culture is the first reason transformations fail. Axibra keeps the organizational side of a decision in view instead of leaving it to chance.

Need help putting this to work in your organization?

Axibra is where these models run. It carries a decision through to the work that follows it, and keeps every result traceable back to the input it came from. If you would rather start with a conversation, we are one call away.

Strategy does not fail in the thinking. It fails in the handover.
