Description

Whether you are running a project, team, organization, or network, effective decision-making is core to the work. Many of our structures still reflect inherited models that are often rooted in strict hierarchy, control, labor, extraction, and urgency. But many justice-centered leaders are reimagining decision-making in ways that are more grounded, participatory, and aligned with our values.

NPQ is pleased to welcome Niloufar Khonsari, author of the new book The Future Is Collective, to guide participants through a set of participatory decision-making practices and how to apply them. For each method, Khonsari will offer clear process steps and guidance to avoid potential pitfalls.
