Sociocracy & Better Decision Making
7 October, 2pm - 4.30pm
Despite some organisations or collectives having the best intentions to spread power and decision making among workers, we know that in reality it is incredibly complex to foster autonomy and get things done. The good news is that Sociocracy is a practical way to move quickly where it’s safe and understand when it isn’t. Apply for your place

Remote Team Working
14 October, 2pm - 4.30pm
Since the start of lockdown, many of us have had to become accustomed to working online and in distributed teams. This is an opportunity for you to become more effective and efficient in your work, be accountable and productive, and feel connected still to your teammates. In this webinar, you will discover for yourself how to overcome blockers in your day, how to create structure and get disciplined, whilst feeling closer to your colleagues and to your other commitments.

Everyday Participation
21 October, 2pm - 4.30pm

You can expect to take away a workable prototype for a new participation opportunity for your organisation or project. Apply for your place
