Episode notes

In sociocracy we have equivalence that's I would say really the key to everything maybe I'll start with decision making. So one thing that so socio-cresil is suggesting is to make decisions by consent. We often do in retrospectives that people do dot voting on things and where we have the most dots is kind of the thing that we are doing then which is creating a sense because we ask everyone everyone has a voice however the minority is ignored it might not have to buy into what we're doing. Another thing that's really super important and so super-percirpacy is how we are looking at the structure in an organization.

“There’s no leading without following. We are only a leader because somebody is following us."

Jutta Eckstein is a coach, consultant, and trainer who has helped many teams and organizations worldwide making an Agile transition. In this episode, we discussed ideas from her book “Company-wide Agility With Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, and Sociocracy”, also widely known as the BOSSA nova. Jutta started by sharing today’s company challenge in terms of collision of values between shareholder, customer, and the employee, and she provided a suggestion how to align the values better. She then broke down BOSSA nova and explained each concept and principles of Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy, and Agile. Jutta also shared the four values of BOSSA nova and how they also relate extrinsically to sustainability.
