You know the basics of consent decision-making but you need a bit more to put it into practice? This class is for you!
Note: this class is a continuation of the “Free intro: Inclusive meetings”.
During this panel, Otto Scharmer and some SoFA members will explore how Sociocracy and Theory U complement and relate to each other.
In this free class, we will share the template for how to structure a meeting so everyone and be heard. The meeting format from sociocracy is flexible yet reliable, collaborative, and effective at once.
An experiential introduction to the 3 pillars of sociocracy (a.k.a dynamic governance): decision making by consent, ongoing feedback, and a structure of linked circles.
Do you facilitate meetings? This class will help you be more effective, efficient and inclusive at the same time!
Note: this class is a continuation of the free session “Deciding together”
What are the structures that unleash both empowerment and alignment? See what structures are possible!
Note: This is an introduction event. The full class “Decentralizing decision-making with circles and roles” builds on this class.
How do leadership and accountability work in a peer-based organization?
This is a 3-session introduction class to compassionate communication (Nonviolent Communication, NVC). It covers basic concepts with many examples. All sessions are participatory with time for questions and answers.
NVC meshes beautifully with sociocracy because it allows us to listen well, make ourselves understood on a deeper level, and explore together how we can co-create solutions that work for everyone.
This class is for those who want to understand how circle structures and roles can be used to empower groups and individuals to make decisions and to clarify who does what in an organization.
The Online 2023 Sociocracy with Youth and in Education Conference will take place on February 18th, 2023 13:00-20:00 UTC. Sociocracy in Youth and Education Conference webpage here.
This free class will introduce you to consent-based group decision-making and help you use it in your groups. The list of advantages of group decision-making by consent are many: it’s clear, it’s fast, and it’s inclusive.
