Round table on post-consensus, cooperative decision-making

Doug is a developer of cooperative philosophy and practice, and a co-founder of Kanthaus (https://kanthaus.online). Kanthaus is an experimental house in the East of Germany which fuses cooperative and commons, decoupling rent from residency. Doug is driven to improve organizational processes while accounting for human limitations, with a current focus on collective decision-making.

Doug Webb

For decades people wishing to organize in more cooperative ways have been encouraged to make decisions by consensus, and for good reason: when it works well, it's awesome. However—when it doesn't work—it can lead to personal guilt, frustration; organizational paralysis or disintegration. What should we do when consensus can't be reached? What if cooperative decision-making is better achieved in such cases with practices other than "reaching consensus"? In this talk I will explore how score voting with tweaks can provide a simple, scalable and systematically cooperative alternative to the often utopian ideal of consensus.
