ADVANCED FACILITATION DYNAMIC GOVERNANCE ONLINE COURSE – FALL 2010

Improve your ability to lead any meeting by taking the Advanced
Dynamic Governance Facilitation online course! Your skills will
improve your team’s collective IQ. This course is particularly helpful
for people in organizations that are implementing dynamic governance.
Why? …because some of the most difficult facilitation challenges may
occur early in the implementation process.

The course includes all three dynamic governance decision-making
techniques and concrete strategies for dealing with charged issues and
people. You will have many opportunities to practice your skills in
the “learning laboratory” of the course. (Our online format lets you
both see and hear all the other class participants.) You’ll get
encouragement and support for your facilitation activities during and
after your training.

Dates: November 30th; December 7nd and 21st, 2010; January 4th and
18th; February 1st, 2011. (Dates are dispersed to give participants
opportunity to practice facilitation between sessions.)
Days: Tuesday
Time: 10:00 A.M.—12:00 P.M. Eastern Time (GMT -5)
Cost: $340.00 ($290.00/person when registering 2 or more people from
the same organization)

REGISTRATION

For high quality experiential learning, the courses are limited to a
minimum of 5 and maximum of 12 participants. So that we have time to

later than November 21th, 2010.

The workshop fees include all class materials and a copy of "We The
People: Consenting to a Deeper Democracy," a book written by John Buck

Governance resources

Dynamic Self-Governance, Sociocracy and Holacracy Dynamic Self-Governance (DSG) is a more accessible term for Sociocracy. Sociocracy literally means rule by the “socios”, people who have a social relationship with each other.  Recently another model based on DSG has emerged: “Holacracy”. Holacracy is based on the same principles as Sociocracy and DSG. Where DynamicSelf-Governance asks for one perspective shift, Holacracy asks another: a Spiritual perspective shift. NextGEN utilizes the benefits of all these models and more while making them simple and accessible. For further details please see Governance Alive  Sociocracy  Holacracy (recommend listening to the audio’s on this site or from “What Is Enlightenment “WE THE PEOPLE Consenting to a Deeper Democracy” by John Buck and Sharon Villines ISBN 978-0-9792827-0-6 (John Buck has been supporting NextGEN in its local and global DSG work)

Yahoo Sociocracy group:

It has active discussions on Sociocracy, some of them are interesting and some are not, I half read about half of the messages.

Holacracy offer free intro sessions and very expensive trainings

Governance Alive offer limited free sessions and very cheap trainings. All GEN and NextGEN members receive a discount from their trainings (I can personally recommend them).
