We have established our own organizational model: Loycocracy.

Inspired by Holacracy

An organizational model designed to maximize collective intelligence, Loycocracy is strongly inspired by Holacracy and other “distributed governance” or “shared management” models such as Sociocracy.
How it works is explained and governed by our Constitution.

An empowering model

Loycocracy aims to enable each employee to become more involved in the company’s operations, cross-functional projects and decision-making. It aims to encourage the contribution and development of each employee’s potential, and to do away with vertical hierarchies.

Organized into teams

Loycomates are organized into autonomous teams in which they assume one or more roles. Traditional management roles are broken down into various cross-functional “support” roles. Loycocracy replaces traditional hierarchical authority with role authority (the role-holder can make decisions without reference to a superior). The distribution of roles and responsibilities can be clearly consulted at any time in our publicly accessible online organization chart.

The constitution

The Loycocratic Constitution aims to make explicit Loyco’s identity, its roots in strong values and the rules governing Loycocracy, its governance model. It governs relations between all loycomates, their organizations and their stakeholders. As such, it forms an integral part of the contrat de travail, replacing the traditional hierarchical management system. Both didactic and regulatory, the Constitution enables every loycomate to understand the foundations and workings of the organization, and the rules to which he or she is subject.
