Summary

The self-organisation spread: a long explanatory column on the left and a large bubble diagram on the right where yellow and dotted-green circles of varying sizes represent the company's holacratic circles, sub-circles, and roles.

Visual description

White spread headed "SELF-ORGANIZATION" over a diagonal-hatch panel, with two columns of justified body copy and inline GRI tags. The right half is a "VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF THE FREITAG STRUCTURES WITH CIRCLES, SUB-CIRCLES AND ROLES": a large faint outer ring contains a loose cluster of circles, some solid yellow, some filled with a dotted green stipple, sized by scale and labelled (People & Organisational Culture, Sustainability & Circularity, Finance & Legal, IT & Apps, Smooth Operation, 4YOU, General Company Circle). Hairline rules frame the spread.

Key takeaway

Representing a non-hierarchical org as a free-floating bubble field rather than a top-down tree, so the diagram itself communicates the holacratic model. Two fills (solid yellow, green stipple) are enough to distinguish circle types and add texture without extra colour.

Reuse notes

A good fit for any organisation explaining a flat, circle-based, or networked structure. The bubble layout must be sized and clustered deliberately to read as intentional rather than random. Contrasts nicely with the strict ownership tree on slide 7, which shows the same company's legal hierarchy.
