Zappos is the most well-known example, having transitioned fully to holacracy in its effort to promote employee empowerment and agility. Other organisations have either experimented with holacracy or integrated some of its principles, including:

• Medium – This media platform tried holacracy to foster flexible, distributed decision-making, although it later modified its approach.
• Springest – A smaller firm in the online learning space that has adopted holacracy principles for more adaptive team structures.
• Various startups and tech companies – Many smaller organisations across technology and creative sectors have embraced holacracy or customized its framework to suit rapid innovation and incremental decision-making.

These examples show that while holacracy has its advocates, its adoption varies, with organisations adjusting its prescriptions to meet their unique cultural and operational needs.
