What is Octocracy?
Modern organizations face the challenge of asserting themselves in an ever-changing world.
To succeed, rigid hierarchies must be eliminated and collaboration must take place on an equal footing.
The right balance between agility and leadership is the key to combining efficiency and meaning.
TOGETHER WE CAN REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY WE WORK TOGETHER
David Fiorucci | Thomas Nast
OCTOCRACY is the result of combining proven agile collaboration methods with LP3’s extensive leadership know-how.
The book ” OCTOCRACY – Shaping meaningful organizations ” summarizes the findings of David Fiorucci and Thomas Nast, the two co-authors, and gives all participants a new meaning in their daily work. It enables organizations to have more impact in a playful and joyful way.
But what does octocracy really mean? Octocracy combines the fascinating characteristics of an octopus with the effective aspects of holacracy. In octocratic organizations, individual departments act autonomously and make independent decisions, like the octopus’s eight arms. In critical moments, however, they turn to the organization’s leader – the head of the octopus – who guides them through turbulent times.
With OCTOCRACY, we take the next logical step in restoring meaning to everyday work. We show how it’s possible to act and work more satisfactorily and effectively through greater individual responsibility and peer-to-peer collaboration. Combined with focused leadership, octocratic organizations become more effective.
What’s more, we’re convinced that sustainability must be more than just a slogan. That’s why this new book is made “Cradle to Cradle” – the only process in the world that allows books to be manufactured 100% free of harmful substances.
