What is GlassFrog?
GlassFrog is a web-based software application designed to help companies implement self-management practices. It allows organizations to visualize and manage decentralized authority and accountability structures.
Some key features of GlassFrog include:
- Role mapping - Define roles and responsibilities across the organization
- Authority mapping - Clarify decision-making abilities and authorities
- Accountability mapping - Track accountabilities and ownership of results
- Governance transparency - Share organizational governance processes and policies
- Peer-based evaluation - Facilitate peer feedback and development
- Integration with other tools - Integrate with project management, communication, and productivity tools
GlassFrog helps organizations put self-management principles into practice. Instead of traditional hierarchical management structures, companies can distribute authority across autonomous, cross-functional teams. This allows for greater agility, employee engagement, and innovation.
The software makes governance processes transparent through visual mapping of roles, accountabilities, workflows, and policies. Employees can better understand organizational dynamics and decision-making rationale. Leaders can also spot accountability gaps.
By revealing formal authority structures, GlassFrog aims to help organizations become more adaptive, employee-driven, and resilient in the face of business uncertainty.
