Community Power with an X-Factor
Wow! There are a lot of ‘X’s in the game! In the unique community system, everyone works together hand in hand. The aim is to have clear responsibilities and at the same time enable all XITASOnians to participate in the further development of the company actively and directly.
Communities at XITASO are holocracy-inspired circles with topic related responsibilities. All communities must have a long-term purpose. To do this, they are equally concerned with operational tasks and continuous further development. For the latter, the OKR method is used which combines objectives of all communities with corporate objectives and makes it understandable. For resources planning (time and money) we use elements from ‘Beyond Budgeting’. So, there are no fixed budgets but, only a rough estimate for the following OKR cycle. With Health Metric, preferably as relative values, we make the performance of our operation business transparent.
Why did we adjust our community structures in 2023?
This is due to the unbelievable growth of XITASO. When we had fewer employees, everyone knew each other and knew who was responsible or had what expertise. But today? To be quite honest, when we talk about 240 XITASOnians, it’s easy to lose track. This is why we need even more clarity and indeed, someone who is explicitly responsible for community issues. For this purpose, we will for sure remain true to our agile DNA.
The XITASO community structure. Agile and highly effective.
Each community has a lead and a deputy. These two ‘have their hats on’ when it comes to that the community fulfills its purpose and artefacts and processes are efficiently driven and further developed. Together with the board members they take care of the operative work, the tactics, and the strategic alignment. The contributors are involved in processes and the creation of artefacts. On the other hand there are the consumers. They place demands on the community and ‘consume’ the output. Participation in a community often arises naturally from the respective core role of each XITASOnian. In addition, everyone is invited to take personal responsibility to participate wherever their know-ledge and passion can make valuable impact.
