Description

The book on sociocracy implementations (English, print)

More and more organizations seek alternatives to traditional hierarchies—systems that balance participation with effectiveness, equity with clarity, adaptability with coherence. Sociocracy offers a proven pathway to shared governance. But how do you actually make it happen in an existing organization?

From Here to There picks up where Many Voices One Song leaves off. This is not a book about why sociocracy works—it’s a guide to getting there. With wisdom gained from dozens of implementations worldwide, this practical guide walks you step-by-step through the full journey:

✅ Preparing your organization and building legitimacy
✅ Designing an effective circle structure
✅ Writing governance agreements
✅ Transitioning decision-making and authority
✅ Evolving systems as your organization grows
✅ Handling common pitfalls and resistance
✅ Adapting sociocracy to your context: nonprofits, businesses, cooperatives, schools, networks, and more

Whether you’re an initiator, an implementation team, or a consultant supporting change, this book will help you navigate the complexity of real-world culture shifts with clarity, compassion, and rigor.

Governance is not a background system—it’s the invisible architecture that shapes relationships, power, and purpose. Take ownership of it. Implementing Sociocracy gives you the tools to build an organization where everyone’s voice matters and collective intelligence can flourish.
