Conscious Conversation: Sociocracy for All: Governance aligned with your values

Do you want the way you run your enterprise to be aligned with your values? Do you want your decision-making processes to be inclusive and yet still efficient?

Sociocracy is a governance framework that combines decision-making, empowerment of small, agile teams and a meeting format that helps us build trust and continuous improvement. It has a resemblance with an agile mindset, people care in permaculture and participatory decision-making. In this presentation, we will try out shared decision-making in different areas: consent decision-making as a group, decision-making in linked circles, and elections sociocracy style. Everyone can participate in sociocratic processes to experience the flow and wholesomeness it brings to groups. It will be insightful, entertaining, and meaningful. Everyone will walk away with little ideas to try out immediately -- and big ideas to explore more.
