Consent Based Decision Making Taster Tuesday 14th October

A 2-Hour Practical Taster Workshop

Are you curious about Sociocracy and consent-based decision-making? Heard of the terms, and know that decision making you exeprience isn't always the most effective? Don't know enough about what it actually is to decide whether to invest your time in learning it or not? This taster session is for you!

Join me for this hands-on 2-hour taster where you'll experience consent-based decision-making – one of the core principles of Sociocracy – and discover whether this approach could work for you and your teams.

What You'll Experience

In this session, you'll:

• Experience the consent process through practical exercises in an online group setting
• Learn the difference between preferences and critical concerns
• Understand how "good enough for now" solutions work
• Try out inclusive decision-making that ensures every voice is heard
• Leave with more understanding about whether this approach might suit your needs
• Connection with others who are curious about decision-making

As this is a taster it will be focussed on the process of decision-making in-person (or online) only, if you want to understand more about the different contexts it can work in and how to implement, come along to our full day session on 22nd October.

What Is Consent-Based Decision Making?

This approach offers a different way for teams to make decisions by:

• Promoting practical and realistic steps towards a shared goal – finding common ground through "good enough for now" solutions
• Balancing power – deliberate sharing of inputs across the team and clear invitations to contribute from all
• Including diverse voices – ensuring nobody gets ignored and louder voices are balanced

Who Should Attend?

Perfect for managers, team leaders, agile practitioners, consultants, freelancers working in org development and anyone interested in more effective and equitable ways of organising and making decisions.
