Shortly after the conflict in Ukraine started, we asked ourselves: how to help our employees amid the invasion? How to support people affected by this situation? We felt (and still do) a strong need for action and help.

Boldare continues and expands its support for our Ukrainian neighbors. We have delegated a development team who, together with Tech To The Rescue (TTTR) and other technological companies, will create a web app that will connect refugees with volunteers and organizations that offer them help from their very first minutes in Poland.

The times are changing, and the technology sector is not immune to those changes. This is why the technology and IT industry will most likely bend in the direction of Web3, onchain and more ethical cultures within organizations. Paradoxically, I believe that the biggest changes in 2022 will not strictly be about technology itself, but what empowers it.

The education sector has a long history of using technology to aid and support learning.

Almost four years ago, we started our transformation to holacracy. That transformation – deliberately – is still going on today. It’s an ongoing process. In this article, we’ll cover the essentials of what holacracy is, and how we use it here at Boldare. Read on to find out about roles, circles and who decides about salary increases if there are no managers around.

In the last few decades, we observe a phenomenon that’s linked with broad access to data and a change in human mindset due to intensification of extreme and unexpected world events (stock market crashes, natural disasters, pandemic). Nothing seems stable, constant, or reliable anymore. This new reality got its name - it’s called a VUCA world. What is VUCA? How to adapt to it?

Four years ago we transitioned to holacracy - a flat-structured management system that enhances human potential and distributes decision-making between self-organized teams. It helped us to create a smoothly-operating company that accelerates innovation and supports learning through experience. In this article we talk to Piotr Majchrzak, Co-Founder at Boldare, who tells the story of implementing holacracy in our organization.

What distinguishes Boldare from other product development companies is a modern approach to management and the promotion of a culture of self-organisation. And these are not just empty words! Four years ago, we introduced holacracy, a management system that has allowed us to maintain a flat structure and a fast pace, despite significant growth of the organisation (and, since implementing holacracy, we have practically doubled the number of employees).

Please, just give us a moment to explain this complex-sounding phrase a little.

At the beginning of 2020, global companies had to adapt their strategies to a new normal situation which included remote working for many of them. Whether you like it or not, that’s the pandemic reality we all need to face. Boldare has always valued transparency at work highly and considers it to be a key to success, while communicating with both clients and team members. Proper communication, thorough task prioritization, and planning is critical for efficiency in the home office. That’s why today I would like to present to you some of our best practices for working remotely.

We are extremely happy and proud to inform you that Boldare has won a NextGen Enterprise Award in the New Enterprise category! The NextGen Enterprise Awards highlight a new type of company that is agile, non-hierarchical and value-driven. These awards are for companies changing their world through their innovative approaches to products and services.

Boldare will participate in the NextGen Enterprise Summit, to be held in Paris between 25th and 27th of November. We will be there in a dual role: as a company nominated for a NextGen award in the New Enterprise category, and as host of the Deconstructing leadership workshop, held by Boldare co-founder, Anna Zarudzka.

Working remotely has undoubtedly saved many businesses over the last six months or so. For some companies, it was their core survival tactic when the coronavirus pandemic hit. But working remotely can also have some drawbacks, especially for those involved in digital product development. Switching to a dispersed model can often put teamworking under stress: communication suffers, people aren’t sure what their colleagues are working on and previous levels of information-sharing aren’t enough in a remote, VUCA business environment. The result is declining efficiency. What’s the solution? For us it’s the radical transparency we have practiced for a long time. Read on to see how your organization can benefit from it as well.

If you read this article, you know already that the world has changed. Especially for industries based on providing high quality apps and web products. Without personal communication, distributed teams’ agility and creativity are at risk. If those initial home-office powered productivity peaks decline over the longer term how can we get back to pre-pandemic levels of team performance? For us the solution was improving psychological safety. What is psychological safety and how to create it for your teams? Read on to see four techniques we use to keep our distributed teams in good shape. Then try them out in your organization!

In the post-COVID-19 era, companies need to reconfigure their operations and meet radically changed demands for products and services. Leadership, organization, culture, and work itself need to adjust to the new reality. They need strategy and tactics. This is how we approached this most crucial challenge in Boldare.

As the pandemic crisis continues, the only certainty is … the lack of certainty. Businesses seem to be adopting one of three basic strategies. First, do nothing, wait and hope (risky!). Second, cut everything you can and aim to rebuild later (more likely to survive but at what cost?) And third, actively plan for the new world as it emerges (the most likely to see you thrive but let’s not underestimate the difficulty). It’s with this last strategy in mind that Boldare put together our three-part Crash Course webinar series, “How to manage risks, web products & software teams in a recession” to help businesses get inspired and get the tools they need to shape their future.

How to manage software development risks during global health and economy crisis? The question is not “how to avoid the risk” but “how to reduce it and push further". For that you need a Next-Gen company in your risk management strategy

This story is not about merging companies. This story is about people. People who for the last 14 years were building exciting digital products. This story is about how software development meets design to create something new yet valuable for end users. This is the story of Boldare.
