Joint Decisions that are relevant to the whole oI team, that have an impact on the organization as a whole
Decisions with strategic weight, where we need the wisdom of the whole
Who decides: The whole team, based on consent, carried out by clearly appointed individuals or everyone, facilitated through the use of Loomio
Who’s involved: The whole oI team (incl. facilitator) & anyone who is consulted for advice. Advice is needed from all parties directly affected & persons with expertise in the field
Decisions taken by the whole oI team
Type & advice
Decisions made by the whole team following the principles of consent & advice
The process should be owned/ facilitated by one or a small group of team members. These owners make sure that the decisions are implemented once they are made
Preparing the decision with a proposal & a diligent amount of advice is helpful: who else has relevant information that should be consulted before a decision should be made? These are decisions that need a high amount of preparation and input as they impact a critical amount of people.
For larger decisions, advice can come through various channels, including one-on-one conversations, meetings, or online communication and loomio.
Use of Loomio: We use Loomio for ‘All of Us’-Decisions, as it allows us to step into clarity about the current stage of the decision. The advice process can be facilitated by Loomio, as well. A summary of all advice, and the final outcome of the decision should be added on loomio for reasons of documentation and transparency.
