Growing organisational agility with Sociocracy 3.0

Learn how to apply the Sociocracy 3.0 framework to navigate complexity, deliver maximal value and introduce agility on organisational level.

Description

Effective cross team synchronisation, collaborative innovation, whole system alignment

Agile and Lean have delivered fantastic results for optimizing flow of value to customers, but sooner or later agile teams bump into limitations in the surrounding organisation.

Classic sociocracy has delivered fantastic results for improving organisational governance, enabling dynamic steering and generating cross-organisational collaboration. Yet until recently sociocracy has been applied predominantly within traditional organisational systems.

Now these two worlds meet in a hybridised synthesis. Sociocracy 3.0 (S3) addresses the generic complexities arising when collaboration needs to scale across multiple teams and domains.

In this course, you will learn how to integrate the value of S3’s core principles, patterns and practices into complex agile team environments to harvest collective intelligence across the entire system. You will discover methods to navigate complexity and maximise value delivery for all – participants, customers and the company.

S3 – A social technology for time

Classic sociocracy (also known as dynamic governance in the U.S.) offers an innovative approach to positively grow and continuously improve organisations. S3 builds on sociocratic practices, integrating influences from Holacracy, Agile, Lean and Non-Violent Communication.

S3 is an evolutionary, principles based framework of patterns that people wishing to collaborate and learn together effectively can practice, to improve flow of value and grow happy, successful organisations. Alongside a reliable and effective framework that effectively taps into the collective intelligence within teams, S3 facilitates co-creativity, fosters transparency and guarantees the equivalence of all participants in decision making. Short governance iterations with a tight feedback loop (Decide – Do – Review) make self-organization and dynamic steering achievable both for teams and for the whole organisation. S3 acts as “social technology” for unlocking ownership, engagement and a sense of purpose while promoting respect, diversity and inclusion.
