SUMMARY:La Dynamic Governance a supporto di business e persone (4 sessioni)
DESCRIPTION:Martedì 13\, mercoledì 14\, giovedì 15 e venerdì 16 aprile 2021\, 4 sessioni di introduzione e pratica alla Dynamic Governance. \nCosa non funziona nella nostre aziende\nChe tu faccia parte di un piccolo team o di una grande azienda con migliaia di colleghi\, i limiti del nostro modo di lavorare e di collaborare sono sotto gli occhi di tutti. Quelli che ci colpiscono di più sono: \n\nInefficienza – Troppe riunioni\, mail e telefonate\, senza mai arrivare ad alcuna decisione\nScarso ingaggio – Quando la decisione spetta sempre al capo\, il resto del team smette di ascoltare e contribuire\, trasformandosi in un gruppo di esecutori\nTroppa rigidità – Il contesto turbolento\, incerto\, imprevedibile da cui siamo stati travolti richiede livelli di agilità che le nostre imprese non riescono a mettere in campo\nPerdita del senso di appartenenza – Una ricerca degli obiettivi aziendali che prescinde dai bisogni e dalle dinamiche interpersonali\, distrugge inutilmente il morale\, la creatività e la voglia di partecipare del team\, a discapito degli stessi risultati attesi.\nPoca trasparenza e direzione – La specializzazione data da una chiara distinzione di ruoli\, responsabilità e livelli gerarchici se non ricomposta tramite opportuni meccanismi di comunicazione\, scambio delle informazioni ed inclusione dei colleghi\, genera enormi sacche di ridondanza e perdita di direzione.\n\nCosa vogliamo aiutarti ad ottenere\nE se ti dicessimo che è possibile fare molto molto meglio di così? \nLa Dynamic Governance o Sociocracy è il modello organizzativo e di decisione in grado di rendere le aziende non solo più agili ed efficienti\, ma anche più trasparenti\, partecipative e paritetiche\, affinché il business possa essere una forza per il bene comune di investitori\, dipendenti\, mercato ed ambiente. \nMigliaia di imprese in tutto il mondo hanno già scoperto come grazie all’uso della Governance Dinamica possono: \n\nDecidere in modo efficace ed inclusivo\, tramite meeting più partecipativi\, ma anche più veloci.\nDiventare agile non solo nel linguaggio o nelle pratiche di coordinamento del team (es. Scrum\, kanban\, retrospettive\, etc)\, ma soprattutto nella cultura\, nel modo di pensare e nel far evolvere la struttura organizzativa in base ai reali bisogni dell’azienda.\nRidurre il numero di riunioni\, grazie ad una maggiore chiarezza di ruoli\, responsabilità e spazi di lavoro indipendente.\nAumentare morale e coesione\, costruendo più senso di inclusione\, appartenenza ed equità per tutti i membri dell’organizzazione.\nLiberare il potenziale\, attivando più alti livelli di autonomia e quindi di motivazione e creatività in individui e team.\nEssere in ascolto\, aiutando l’intera azienda a percepire i bisogni provenienti dall’interno e dal mercato\, per trasformarli in miglioramento continuo di processo\, di prodotto e di servizio.\nTrasformare i conflitti in intelligenza collettiva\, imparando come la diversità di punti di vista possa diventare una forma di ricchezza e feedback.\n\nUn’esperienza diretta di Dynamic Governance\nTi offriamo il primo percorso esperienziale pensato espressamente per le aziende italiane di introduzione alla Dynamic Governance (Sociocracy). Troverai: \n\nStoria e principi guida – Come i principi del systems thinking\, delle living organization\, della cibernetica\, della teoria della complessità e decenni di pratica in tutto il mondo di Dynamic Governance consentono di raggiungere con più facilità gli obiettivi di business e migliorare i meccanismi di funzionamento della tua azienda.\nEsperienza pratica in team – 4 giorni (per un totale di 16 ore) di esperienza in team per esplorare nella pratica un nuovo modo di fare impresa\, lavorare insieme e prendere decisioni. Ogni team sarà composto al massimo da 6 persone ed avrà un facilitatore dedicato che lo seguirà passo passo\, oltre a momenti in plenaria con tutto il gruppo.\nTecnologie sociali  – Un set potente di strumenti per il decision making ed il disegno organizzativo che potrai utilizzare fin da subito nel tuo specifico contesto e team.\n\nModalita di partecipazione\nIl percorso di introduzione pratica alla Dynamic Governance\, avverrà secondo le modalità seguenti: \n\nDate: Martedì 13\, mercoledì 14\, giovedì 15 e venerdì 16 aprile 2021\nOrario: dalle 14.00 alle 18.00 (Italia)\nStrumenti: online tramite Zoom\nCosto: 500€\n\nData la natura pratica e partecipativa del percorso\, l’accesso sarà limitato ad un massimo di 10-12 partecipanti. La conferma sullo svolgimento del training verrà inviata entro il 2 Aprile \nIl piano dei contenuti\nLe attività di apprendimento\, pratica e riflessione verranno suddivise in 4 mattinate da 4 ore ciascuna\, al fine di dare modo a chi lavora in azienda di conciliare più facilmente esplorazione della Dynamic Governance ed impegni quotidiani. \n\nSessione 1 – Introduzione pratica ai principi fondanti della Dynamic Governance: equivalenza\, trasparenza\, efficacia\nSessione 2 – Progettazione e facilitazione di meeting produttivi. Permettere al team di decidere chi ricoprirà i ruoli organizzativi.\nSessione 3 – Decisioni inclusive e veloci tramite il meccanismo dell’assenso e l’integrazione delle obiezioni come sense making.\nSessione 4 – Il disegno organizzativo emergente tramite cerchi\, double linking e policy making. Ampio spazio a domande di approfondimento nel contesto aziendale dei partecipanti\n\nLe pause tra una sessione e l’altra consentiranno anche di far sedimentare con più calma quanto scoperto e provato durante ogni modulo\, per essere pronti a portare con maggiore consapelovezza i propri spunti nel confronto finale. \nFacilitatori\n\nPierre Houben: Pioniere in Italia della Dynamic Governance. Formatore Certificato e facilitatore esperto\, è membro di SociocracyForAll\, leader operativo del cerchio Consulenti e del cerchio Internazionale (https://www.linkedin.com/in/pierrehouben/)\nEmanuele Quintarelli: Imprenditore\, manager ed esperto di evoluzione dei modelli organizzativi.

SUMMARY:Facilitation - deep practice
DESCRIPTION:This is the right class for you if you want to be that weathered facilitator that sees a way forward\, no matter what happens. You want to be the person who brings loving clarity to the group work while actively inviting all voices in. Your vision is that everyone feels safe\, heard\, held\, and empowered in your meetings. \nThis class is geared towards people who have already done our facilitation training (or a comparable experience level) and want to improve their facilitation dramatically. We expect you know how to run picture forming and proposal shaping\, you know how to run a consent process\, and you know how to do a selection process. \nNow it’s time to highlight and master all the stuff in between: when people object and it’s not easy to address their objection\, or if it’s not clear what their objection is. When there are too many options on the table and everyone feels overwhelmed. When you’re under time pressure and you need to find common ground fast. \nFormat\nThe sociocracy facilitation training will be taught by Ted Rau\, co-founder and staff member of Sociocracy For All. \nFor each session\, there will be \n\n15 min of quick presentation on a particular technique or common issues\n60min 3 role play scenarios in small groups – everyone gets a turn to facilitate each time\n15 min reflection debrief and reflection\n\nAccess\nAll events will be held on zoom (a video platform).

SUMMARY:Bringing wisdom from the past and the future into today’s governance models
DESCRIPTION:The Iroquois Confederacy is considered by many to be the world’s oldest living participatory democracy – extending across eight centuries. Its governance model emerged from the Peacemaker’s vision for ending warfare between five nations and creating a culture that could sustain peaceful co-existence.  Sociocracy is a governance method receiving increasing attention by the new economy movement because of its aligned values.  \nIn native traditions\, there is an understanding that insights arise from exploring old and new eyes wisdom when considering a decision or exploring an innovation. The approach honors the contributions of the past and brings attention to consequences on future generations. \nHow might we apply these wisdom traditions to our current circumstances?  What’s the bridge between the old and new?  How can the exploration inform our governing structures? \nIn this interactive\, participatory gathering\, you’ll experience and learn how to apply tools from both wisdom traditions. Two consultants from seemingly very different backgrounds will compare notes in a dialogue form inspired by appreciative inquiry. Ted is an advocate for self-management and sociocracy\, a governance system supporting equal power and effective decision-making. Stephanie is deeply rooted in indigenous wisdom. In exchanging ideas\, they noticed how similar and enriching the concepts in sociocracy and indigenous governance concepts are: \n \n\nBoth operate from the assumption that group wisdom is a pillar for good decisions and that hearing a diversity of experiences is necessary for a group. Both use circles and rounds (each person speaks\, one by one\, for example with a talking stick) as a default talking format\, creating a space where group wisdom can emerge.\nSociocracy arose in a business setting with influence from Quaker education.  Its flow stems from feedback loops. In Indigenous traditions\, the cyclic nature of decision-making processes is expressed in medicine wheels.  One wheel for bringing clarity in times of great change is the 4 Step Path: be who you are\, be where you are\, look around and decide & do. \nIn Old Eyes Wisdom\, a vibrant plurality of approaches is expressed in different viewing points: the wolf organizes\, the bear experiments\, the turtle is the wisdom keeper\, the eagle has the big picture view. Each has its strength and its blind spots. Sociocracy has the same dynamic balance built into its systems: the tension between the safe approach and the experiment\, between operational level and the big picture on the mission level\, between individual and group. \nSociocracy is centered around humans\, giving every stakeholder group a voice. Old Eyes Wisdom includes other voices beyond the human voices: the future\, the ancestors (all beings)\, the water\, the air. How can sociocracy learn from that?\nFrom an indigenous perspective\, humans have unique rights and responsibilities that need to be balanced.  What might we learn from sociocracy’s roles that structure decision-making flow in strategic ways?\n\nComparing these two paradigms gives us the opportunity to ground ourselves in two traditions that are based on cooperation and humanity\, participation and non-violence\, personal development and governance so the new economy can be truly aligned with its mission\, inside and outside\, for a better future for everyone.   \nIn the words of Paula Underwood\, “How much peace are you willing to work for?”  Your success will depend on your ability to integrate conflict through how you govern. \nImage artist:  Frank Howell \nMore about Stephanie: \nStephanie Nestlerode is a social worker by training and a strategic planner by trade. In her words\, “The future we create is the legacy we leave the world’s children.“ She has over 40 years of experience coaching leaders\, community coalitions and organizations through change. Her clients have ranged from Boeing and the US Environmental Protection Agency to the City of Austin\, Kaiser Permanente and non-profits. Organizations expand their capacity to serve the common good.  Individuals expand their ability to shift with changing circumstances.  As Chief Synthesizer for 7th Generation Labs she is joining with kindred spirits to create a treasure trove of ways to learn what matters. Studying with Paula Underwood was the beginning of her initiation into learning indigenous wisdom for peaceful co-existence.  Paula was the keeper of a 10\,000 year old oral history which includes the story of how Benjamin Franklin was guided by the Iroquois during the Constitutional Convention for the United States. The story is told in Paula’s book Franklin listens when I speak which can be purchased here. Black Elk is the native american who declared Paula should be the one to share her wisdom with ‘all listening ears.’  You can learn more about Paula’s oral history here. \nZOOM LINK \nEvent time in all time zones: \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.comTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com

SUMMARY:Nonviolent communication introduction (3-sessions)
DESCRIPTION:This is a compact 3-session introduction class to compassionate communication (Nonviolent Communication\, NVC). It covers basic concepts with many examples. All sessions are participatory with time for questions and answers. \nNVC meshes beautifully with sociocracy because it allows us to listen well\, make ourselves understood on a deeper level\, and explore together how we can co-create solutions that work for everyone. \nFormat\nThe classes will be taught by Jerry Koch-Gonzalez\, co-founder and staff member of Sociocracy For All and certified NVC trainer. All sessions are participatory with time for questions\, role-plays in small groups. \nWhat others have said\nJerry’s workshop was so awesome. I loved the framework and the space for vulnerability. It was really useful to work through the framework in small groups and his personal stories were super engaging and informative. \nI loved the part about making requests\, because people often assume that others know what their needs are. \nAccess\nAll events will be held on zoom (a video platform).

SUMMARY:Conflict resolution in circles
DESCRIPTION:Sociocracy works best when all minds and hearts are open – but that’s not always the case. When there is conflict\, our ability to listen and problem-solve is diminished.  \nIn this webinar\, we will review all the ways in which sociocracy can support conflict resolution\, and how it can be combined with other\, related tools to transform conflict into an opportunity to connect and learn more about each other. \nOf course\, interpersonal conflict is always at the heart of conflicts! But in this webinar\, we’ll focus on conflict in circles and organizations and what circles and organizations can do to prevent and address conflict. An organization can’t mandate how people think or when to go see a therapist\, but it can create an ecosystem of listen and care\, a support network for conflict resolution\, and accountability measures to make sure organizations can sustain the maintenance and care of their processes and their people. So this webinar is about institutional support for conflict resolution. \nWe will talk about \n\n\n\nunderstanding why people do what they do – why we hear what we hear\nwhat facilitators can do in the moment\nwhat any circle and any organization as a whole can do to prevent and address conflict\nforeseeing and preventing conflict resolution with regard to governance agreements (e.g. fall-back decision-making methods and processes)\n\n\n\nWe will outline tools like \n\n\n\nReflective listening for facilitators\nNonviolent communication\nRestorative Circles (intro video)\nResolution groups in sociocracy\n\n\n\nNote: this webinar is very similar to the webinar SoFA ran in February 2020. \nTeachers\nThis introduction will be taught by Jerry Koch-Gonzalez\, certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication and staff in Sociocracy For All\, and co-author of the sociocracy handbook Many Voices One Song. \nFormat\n\n10 min check-in in breakouts\n50 presentation\n20 reflection in breakouts\n10 More resources to learn\n\nCan’t find you zoom access link?\nCheck your spam!

SUMMARY:Sociocracy beginner class (6h)
DESCRIPTION:You’ve heard of sociocracy and you’re ready to learn it? This class is for you!  \nIn this workshop\, we will provide an overview of the basic concepts of sociocracy: how we make decisions\, how we empower and connect teams and we can improve continuously over time. Exercises and role-plays let everyone experience the clarity\, consideration and flow that sociocracy brings.  \nTopics: \n\nDeciding together so no one is ignored (consent)\nOrganizational structure and linking\nBeing intentional about who does what: sociocratic open elections\nLearning and feedback: how we can improve what we do and how we do it\n\n  \nLevel\nEntry: This class is most appropriate for people who have an idea of what sociocracy is but not much more\, for example after attending a webinar\, or seeing a video (like our 4 min video or our 19 min video). Possibly\, you have gone deeper into one aspect of sociocracy\, like consent. \nThis class also works if you’re a new member of a sociocratic organization and you’d like to understand the reasons under processes done there. \nAfter the class\, you will have a good understanding of all the parts\, and first-hand experience in some areas. \nSee this training level in relationship to other training offerings.  \nTeachers\nThis introduction will be co-taught by Ted Rau and Jerry Koch-Gonzalez\, staff in Sociocracy For All\, and co-authors of the sociocracy handbook Many Voices One Song\, as well as student teachers for individual parts. \nFormat\nThis is not one of those lengthy online classes. This workshop combines lecture\, practice in small groups\, demos\, role plays\, and reflection in small breakouts for optimal learning and connection. There will be time for questions as well!\nWe will provide preparation materials as well as opportunities to immerse more deeply into particular areas of sociocracy after this workshop. \nAccess\nAll events will be held on zoom (a video platform).

SUMMARY:Sociocracy playground: integrating objections practice
DESCRIPTION:Come to practice sociocracy in fun scenarios!\nIn this session\, we will practice how to integrate objections in small groups in zoom breakout groups. People will take turns facilitating. It’s a very safe-to-fail environment\, always surprisingly real. Working with scenarios helps not get caught up in opinions but pay attention to process. How can we stick to rounds? What are ways to solve the problem? How do we move from amendments into a new proposal? What if there are new objections? \nSchedule:\n\n10 min of check-ins and introductions\n15 min of demonstration\n50 min of play (2 scenarios of 25 minutes)\n15 min debrief\n\nEvent time in everyone’s time zone:\nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.comTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com
