SUMMARY:La Dynamic Governance a supporto di business e persone (4 sessioni)
DESCRIPTION:Lunedì 25\, martedì 26\, mercoledì 27 e venerdì 29 Maggio 2020\, 4 sessioni di introduzione e pratica alla Dynamic Governance. \n  \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: \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. \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: \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. \nUn’experienza diretta di Dynamic Governance\nTi offriamo il primo percorso esperienziale pensato espressamente per le aziende italiane di introduzione alla Dynamic Governance (Sociocracy). Troverai: \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 practica in team – 2 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. \nModalita di participazione\nIl percorso di introduzione pratica alla Dynamic Governance\, avverrà secondo le modalità seguenti: \nDate: 25\, 26\, 27 e 29 Maggio 2020\nOrario: dalle 09:00 alle 13:00 (Italia)\nStrumenti: online tramite Zoom\nCosto: 450€ \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 18 Maggio. \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. \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 \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\nPierre Houben: Pioniere in Italia della Dynamic Governance. Formatore e facilitatore esperto\, è Membro del Board di SociocracyForAll (https://www.linkedin.com/in/pierrehouben/)\nEmanuele Quintarelli: Imprenditore\, manager ed esperto di evoluzione dei modelli organizzativi.

SUMMARY:Sociocratic elections for other decisions (not for filling roles)
DESCRIPTION:This is a very easy way to add another tool to your facilitation toolbox\, building on something you already know! \nSometimes we have many options to choose from\, and quite often\, groups are overwhelmed when time comes to make a choice. The sociocratic selection process can help if we use it for other choices than roles. For example\, we can use the selection process to “nominate” specific dates to hold our retreat. Or we can use it to nominate themes for an event\, or a monetary amount for dividing up cost. That way\, we have a clean\, orderly\, and more robust way of making choices\, using qualifications and criteria that are clear. \nIn this session\, we’ll both talk about different ways of using the selection process – and we will try them out! Ideally\, every participant will have had the chance to facilitate the selection process for something other than roles at least once. \nOur scenarios will include: \n\nSelecting a $ amount\nSelecting a date\nSelecting a helping circle (e.g. resolution group) from outside the circle\n\n  \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.comTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com

SUMMARY:Operations and policy in sociocracy
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the difference between operations and policy is key to making fast and good decisions. The idea in sociocracy is to empower operational decisions (so they can be made by anyone who is authorized) and to make policy decisions to guide and improve those operational decisions. However\, the line between operations and policy can blur which makes it harder to make pragmatic decisions. \nPolicy decisions are made by consent while operational decisions are often made alone – and with feedback if appropriate. \nLet’s look at the whole topic and get clear so we can be fast\, or slow and considerate\, depending on what the situation calls for. \nTaught by Ted Rau

SUMMARY:Sociocratic governance agreements
DESCRIPTION:Every formal implementation requires a governance agreement document – a description of the governance method in their context. Oftentimes\, it’s the approval of this document that constitutes the formal adoption of sociocracy. We have several sample governance agreements that groups can take and adopt. \nIn this workshop\, we will walk you through the sample governance agreement for a cohousing community (which\, for the most part\, will apply to many other contexts as well). You can ask questions along the way! We hope that many can go adapt their documents after this webinar. \nWorkshop presenter and SoFA team member Jerry Koch-Gonzalez was part of the author team of several sociocratic communities revising this document.\nNote: there some overlap but a difference between governance agreements and by-laws. Governance agreements tend to be an internal document\, like the constitution of the organization. \nThis event will be at 9am Pacific time\, 12 Eastern time\, 17 UK time\, 18 Paris or Berlin. See event time in all time zones

SUMMARY:Is sociocracy teal?
DESCRIPTION:Where does sociocracy fit when it comes to teal organizations (a la reinventing organizations)?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany of us have been and continue to be inspired by Reinventing Organizations by Frederic Laloux. While there is reference to Holacracy in Reinventing Organizations\, there is not much direct reference to sociocracy. So\, where does sociocracy fit in? \nSociocracy is certainly a self-management system of peer relationships\, giving people (both teams and individuals) autonomy in their domains\, leading to a system of intentionally distributed power in the organization. Furthermore\, other features of teal organizations include “inner wholeness” (being complete human beings\, not only our professional aspects) and “evolutionary purpose” (giving organizations a chance to evolve like a natural organism). Where does sociocracy fulfill the characteristics\, where doesn’t it? \nThis is not a black-and-white topic as not everyone assesses the concepts or the evidence similarly. We hope for an enlightening event intended to give an impulse to the conversation. To get us started\, Ted Rau from Sociocracy For All will talk about his view while highlighting where people might have other opinions. There will be time for reflections and some discussion from audience members. \n— \nThis webinar will be held on zoom.
