Imagine what would happen if organizations be run in a more egalitarian and transparent fashion? What if everyone had an equal voice? Come and discover the principles of sociocracy and learn how to create an organizational culture where conflicts can be a source of growth instead of distraction.

Have you ever
attended a
meeting that
went smoothly,
without
arguments and
debate but where
still everyone
was heard, where
everyone could voice his
or her opinion and where the decision taken in the end
was supported by all?
If so, you probably attended a meeting that was run on
the principles of Sociocracy or “Dynamic Governance,”
as it is also called.
Transform your meetings into meetings of the mind,
conducting them in a more participatory, respectful
and productive way ! Join us on April 20th and 21st 2017.
Decisions are taken by majority vote, leaving
those who did not buy in to the decision,
frustrated, actively or
passively disengaged.
Result: Whatever
decision was taken,
only part of the
organization was
behind it and
consequently actively
supported it.
We all have been
to meetings
where the opposite
was the case.
While being
well-intentioned,
some people get to
talk (all the time),
while the more
quiet, introverted and
thoughtful types, who need a little longer to come up
with their—often more brilliant—ideas, never get a
chance to voice them.
CONSENT=RELAX
DEBATE=STRESS
