a flexible, adaptable, and informal organizational structure without bureaucratic policies or procedures.

An example might be “the bro code” wherein all members agree to it, but there’s no punishment for not.

Typically used in early phase organizations just starting into a given field and haven’t created a rigid structure yet.

An organization which lacks a permanent formal official structure, so a new team could be created to solve a particular issue and then disbanded once the issue is solved.

A system without a formalized or permanent structure—a combination of “ad hoc” (a Latin phrase used to signify something that’s not officially organized) and -ocracy (from the Greek “kratia,” meaning “rule by”).

The expression *ad hoc* means something that you make up on the spot, instead relying on an established rule or procedure. Let’s you decide to the go the grocery store. Instead of planning what you need to get in the form of a shopping list, you simply go decide what to get when you get there. When you see an item and say, “you know what, that looks nice, I will get that,” that is an *ad hoc* decision.

An adhocracy is a system where on the spot-decision is the rule of thumb. You react to the circumstance and judge things on a case-by-case basic. You don’t adopt formal procedure, and instead rely and your improvisational skills.

Adhocracy is a way of organizing and running an organization or group that values flexibility, creativity, and autonomy.

Elementary: An adhocracy at the elementary level could involve students working together to solve problems or complete tasks in ways that they find most interesting and engaging. Students would be given the freedom to choose how they learn and work together, with teachers providing guidance and support when needed.

College: An adhocracy at the college level could involve students being given the freedom to explore different topics and ideas in an open-ended way. Students would be encouraged to work together to create projects that are meaningful to them and share their ideas with their peers.

PhD: An adhocracy at the PhD level could involve researchers being given the freedom to pursue their own research ideas and collaborate with peers to pursue their research goals. Researchers would be encouraged to explore different topics and ideas in an open-ended way and share their findings with their peers.
