The Holacracy system was developed at Ternary Software, an Exton, Pennsylvania company that was noted for experimenting with more democratic forms of organizational governance.[3] Ternary founder Brian Robertson distilled the company's best practices into an organizational system that became known as Holacracy in 2007.[4] Robertson later developed the "Holacracy Constitution", which lays out the core principles and practices of the system. In June 2015, he released the book Holacracy: The New Management System for a Rapidly Changing World, that details and explains his practices.
