Excellent value from training courses

I learned so much from your “Foundations of Sociocracy” and “Facilitating Sociocracy” courses, and I use the skills in every meeting and every organization I’m in...everyone has a chance to speak - that is an important skill I learned in the training. The quieter people often have very useful things to say. I learned how to get people to stick to the subject, rather than going off on tangents during a meeting. Sociocracy has been a huge boost to my abilities to facilitate meetings and lead organizations. I highly recommend these courses.

Increased Profits the First Year

Sociocracy has made a big difference in Creative Urethanes’ ability to withstand the economic downturn. We saw increased profits within the first year of using the method. Over time we have applied it to many areas of the company. As a result we have better communication throughout the company, lower employee turnover, more energy in staff members due to increased involvement, more creative ideas that help us thrive in our industry, and continuous improvement within the organization. Best for me is I have more assistance—having everyone’s help during hard economic times has lifted some weight off my shoulders.

High Quality Employee Engagement

Recently, the University of Regina unveiled the results of a survey on employee engagement in its various faculties and units, the second of its kind in two years...the Institut distinguished itself not only by a high level of employee engagement, but especially by a high level of psychological safety, cooperation and individual citizenship behaviour towards their colleagues. We attribute these results largely to the Institut’s decision-making culture: dynamic governance (sociocracy). The sociocracy premise is simple. You do not change the relationships in an organization by changing the leader or the organizational chart, but rather by changing the structure of communication and decision-making.

Better Workload Balance

We are deeply concerned...about work/life balance...using sociocracy, I led an effort to start cutting back on workload... As a result we work more effectively. Our enrollment this year is up 10%, much better than the rest of the university is doing, and we've just landed a $7 million dollar grant that will let us set up two more departments in the school.

Effective Flow of Information

Sociocracy is very effective at creating flow of information between the broadest and the narrowest perspectives from which people work at the University.

All voices heard

I was especially struck by how the structure of the meeting allowed all voices to be heard, and resisted any one person dominating the discussion. I have held leadership positions in several nonprofit organizations and work with nonprofits in my consulting business, so I have spent a lot of time in meetings! I think so many organizations -- not just nonprofits -- will find they can accomplish more, and more inclusively, using a sociocratic meeting model.

Perfectly Suited to Deep Transformation

Sociocracy allowed the Institut français to develop by strengthening the commitment and cohesion of its personnel around its educational and community mission in a particularly difficult development context. Sociocracy allows a human relations management style perfectly suited to environments in deep transformation. Undoubtedly, this was the key to the success of the Institut français.
