Description

"How do we determine shared principles, processes, and rituals that sustain decentralized organizations? How do we design emergent organizational structures while maintaining guardrails for meaningful impact?

Tanisi Pooran is a Partner at The Ready and Equity & Liberation Education Specialist. They draw from experience in labor and trade politics, community organizing, and JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion) in evolutionary and educational organizations.

The Ready is an organizational design consultancy that aims to realize more adaptive, equitable, meaningful, and human ways of working.

Their lecture focuses on The Ready’s path to creating foundational agreeements. Everything about the way The Ready works is captured in an agreement, which is documented and transparent to everyone. When people have a question, tension, or an issue, they make a proposal. Pooran talks through The Ready’s foundational beliefs and how they are governed, and the system adaptations that became necessary as their organization scaled.

Pooran encourages us to think about how we express values and honor principles in self-managed systems, especially as they grow."
