module consent pierre cofrg - consent class - Sociocracy For All

Topic

In sociocracy, we make decisions by consent. The goal is to make inclusive decisions fast.

This free class will introduce you to consent-based group decision-making and
help you use it in your groups. The list of advantages of group decision-making by consent is long: it’s clear, it’s fast, it allows for innovation and learning, and it’s inclusive.
And who doesn’t need to make a group decision from time to time? Topics:

What’s consent?
What are objections?
The 3 steps of a consent process
