Topic |
If we make all decisions together, we also need to make financial decisions together, for example, for setting salaries and for budget allocation in our organization.
How do we set these? In this class, we will look at the different options, the centralized and the decentralized option, with hybrid solutions. A centralized solution means that there is one policy organization-wide that everyone needs to follow, e.g. standardized pay scales or ranges. A decentralized approach means that every circle or role can make their own decisions. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to each of these approaches – we’ll look at them to help you design a system that is based on shared power and transparency and that works for you! |

If you can’t pay the $50, please reach out and give us 1-2 sentences of context and we’ll see about a scholarship. Groups of 3 people or more can receive a 30% group discount.
