Land Back!

We are on lands that are traditional territory:

  • Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ
  • Haudenosaunee
  • Attiwonderonk
  • Wendake-Nionwentsïo
  • Mississaugas of the Credit

Respect and gratitude to the people who are past, present and future caretakers of this land.

Sociocracy at Consensus

  • We adopted Sociocracy about 6 years ago.
  • We've worked with Ted and SoFA to deepen our understanding.
  • We've noticed the overhead of "doing" Sociocracy in practice.

Sociocracy Itches

  • Overhead: keeping track of minutes, decisions, circle members, etc.
  • Community tools: mostly cobbled together toolkits, nothing focused on Sociocracy.
  • Bespoke techniques: Over the years, we accumulated ways to automate various aspects.

Why Synchrony?

  • Synchrony "scratches our own itch"
  • We outgrew our prototype tools
  • Goal: streamline changes that arise regularly
