Abstract

The paper is devoted to developing the approach to implementation of flexible organizational structures in the company, considering holacracy structure as an example. Every company eventually faces the problem of implementing or strongly changing its organizational structure, and COVID-19 pandemic increased the need in such changes. Today the increasingly demanded are flexible organizational structures, especially by small and middle-sized companies, which in the same time have lower managerial expertise and thus require clear recommendations on implementation of such kind of organizational structure. The approach proposed in the paper, includes stages aimed on training the company’s staff to work under the new organizational structure, piloting (implementing new structure in one unit and analyzing the results) and final implementation of new structure.
