Appendix I: Additional questions

The approx. 20 questions in Proodoss are a great foundation for assessing a change request. However, they do not paint a complete picture of the skills and behavior we value in our organization and want to reward. To paint that complete picture, we include some additional questions for discussion before or during the session:

Checks by the Value Advisor (with relevant roles):

  • Are there any (formal) agreements or formal warnings that are blocking a promotion?

To avoid peer pressure, the individuals of the group need to dm the Value Advisor their answers to these questions:

  1. Have you read the requester's motivation?
  2. Do you have enough knowledge about our compensation model to assess this request?
  3. Do you feel you are the right person to assess this request?
  4. Is this the right group? (If not, is someone missing that you would have expected?)
  5. Did the requester significantly change their roles in the last few weeks/months?
  6. Does the colleague's requested level and profile feel logical to you? (If you think in advance that the colleague is not eligible for a change, answer with 'no'.)
  7. Does the requester act in the best interest of the company, and do they support its core values and principles?
  8. Do they operate in line with Holacracy and the constitution?
  9. Would you hire the requester again?

All the above questions must be answered with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
