About me: Kozo Takei
I was born in 1983 in Yokohama, Japan.
I really wanted to become a musician.
During High School, I received awards and
prizes at some music contests.
In 2003, I went to L.A. to study music.
In 2005, I came back to Japan and started
my first business: Fashion Blog Media. It
closed down after a year, with large debts.
The next year, I started DIAMOND MEDIA.

What results from levels and divisions?
- Organizational flexibility is limited
- Organization and individuals are separated

Hard to adapt to the changes of external situations.

3 Steps to Implement Holacracy
Implementation procedure
1. Quantitative Data Management
2. Communication Channels
3. Release Information and Power
Holacracy is a three-dimensional organization.
We need to design its processes, not structure.
21
Page 22
Quantitative Data Management
Capture your company’s data at three levels
Capture data at three levels:
“Result", "Process” and “Labor”.
Data capture needs to happen
real-time and through a
seamless interface.
Result
Process
Labor*
*Labor = Working time data counted in unit of 30 minutes.

Communication Channels
Holacracy is communication-driven
Exchange

Holacracy is neither top-
down, nor bottom-up.
Information must flow
freely.
All members participate in the decision-making process through this open communication.

Company’s operations run naturally with communication opportunities, and automatically rejects foreign elements.

Release Information and Power
After implementing data management and
communication systems:
- Fill information gap
- Remove titles and positions
- Eliminate management: release info and power
This makes you a 100% holacratic organization.
27
Page 28
Release Information and Power
Information gap creates virtual hierarchy
- Hierarchy background
Under the hard situation to share information,
organizations needed a quick and straight command line.
- Holacracy background
Internet enables us to spread information easily, rapidly
and without time-lag.
In critical survival situations, the hierarchical organization makes us
more likely to survive.
28
Page 29
Release Information and Power
No title and no boss means:
- Executives and managers need to abandon any kinds of
power, privilege and position.
- At the same time, they also need to abandon fame,
contribution and responsibility.
Self-management means no control. You don’t control
anyone, and you are not controlled by anyone.
29
Page 30
Release Information and Power
Management system of No Management
Holacracy requires to eliminate hierarchical power and
privileges. In traditional organizations, the biggest sanctuary
is the board of directors. Therefore, holacracy needs a
new and flexible organizational design.
Election of president and directors
* In holacratic organizations, CEO and C-suite titles are also removed.** DIAMOND MEDIA actually operates with election and meeting. Because election system may ruin leaderships to come up.

Our Best Practices
Brain trust (team counselling system)
© Diamond Media Co., Ltd.
This “brain trust” is inspired by Edwin Catmull from Pixar.Each team has 4 members. Each person brings its life plan in different terms and share with each other.
Company, business
Long term plan(10 or more
years)
Middle term plan(1 year)
Short term plan(a few months)

Bottom-up
Decision-making process
needs both top and

* ”Top” means wholesome leadership.
Empirically, rotating this twice makes us persuasive and rational.
