Successful, high performing teams have learned to make smart decisions in an effective way. The more autonomy a team gets, the more important it is to adopt a collaborative decision-making process that maximises collective intelligence without needing endless conversations.
In this workshop, you will learn how consent decision making – as defined by Sociocracy 3.0 – helps teams to effectively make and evolve agreements.
Our day to day lives are laced with assumptions and ambiguities.
Even when we think we are being perfectly clear there are often things missing which limit our impact and stunt our potential. In this session we’ll start exploring how we might use coaching to create clarity and achieve better outcomes for ourselves and those we work with.
The term ‘Self-Organising Team’ has been around for a while. Nonetheless, organisations are still setup with hierarchy meaning that usually someone is in place to provide direction in some form.

A technique based on a military metaphor; battle mapping helps visualise the environment you find yourself in. Understand and clarify the different allegiances between stakeholders and other interest parties and plan your next action.

While we can argue that we have succeeded in introducing new ways of working, we often still use the old language.
