Adaptive Organizations – Power-with + Power-within

Have you tried converting your team or organization to using Sociocracy, or would like to? Implementing Sociocracy isn’t always easy! Any organizational transition comes with a natural resistance to change – even when that change is positive. That’s why Bernadette uses a holistic approach to implementing Sociocracy which includes structure, culture and capacities. She supports her clients in becoming an adaptive organization, or a “Self-managing Developmental Organization” (SDO). By combining Sociocracy with embedded practices to create a safe and supportive learning culture (based in Kegan and Lahey’s work Deliberately Developmental Organizations and Immunity to Change), people build their capacity to use Sociocratic structures well. Her motto is, “you can’t have power-with unless you have power-within.” Real clients join us to share their insights, challenges and experience of becoming an SDO.
