Nowadays, it is no longer possible to adopt a decision model where &#8220;whoever thinks&#8221; is divided by &#8220;who does&#8221; and the latter does not know &#8220;why&#8221; it is done.

It means the organisation will be faster to react to the changes of the market and it will evolve better.<\/li>\n<li style=\"user-select: auto;\"><b style=\"user-select: auto;\">It allows leaderships to emerge based on skills<\/b>. Skills can be hard or soft, but adopting open governance guarantees can be recognised by the system. On the contrary, sometimes leaders nominated are not recognised.<\/li>\n<li style=\"user-select: auto;\">It allows the organisation to make the <b style=\"user-select: auto;\">best possible decisions<\/b> involving, in every decision, <b style=\"user-select: auto;\">the best people<\/b> that the group has at its disposal. In this case, the \u201cbest people\u201d means the most interested, the most competent, the most involved, those with the best background information for the decisions the organisation has to make.<\/li>\n<li style=\"user-select: auto;\"><b style=\"user-select: auto;\">It enables people to make decisions<\/b>. In fact, <span id=\"urn:batch-analysis-00bac415-0668-4a9d-90ce-e57552ef0ce0\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-no-link wl-other\" style=\"user-select: auto;\">decision-making<\/span> is a skill that must be created and constantly trained.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"user-select: auto;\">Going deeper into <span id=\"urn:batch-analysis-6d00412c-401b-4fe1-9f3d-3ec522e5926c\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-no-link wl-other\" style=\"user-select: auto;\">decision-making<\/span>, we can say that <b style=\"user-select: auto;\">good <span id=\"urn:batch-analysis-90f04e1c-9caa-440e-a40a-005aa48194e2\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-no-link wl-other\" style=\"user-select: auto;\">decision-making<\/span> implies alignment, not consensus<\/b>. In other words, this means that we can support other decisions with each and every skill we have (alignment), even if we don\u2019t agree with the decision (consensus) and this is possible because we trust in the people we are working with.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"user-select: auto;\">Open governance in Flowing<\/h2>\n<p style=\"user-select: auto;\">Open governance in Flowing has <b style=\"user-select: auto;\">three foundations<\/b>: velocity, impact and people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"user-select: auto;\"><b style=\"user-select: auto;\">Decision-making velocity<\/b> is strongly conveyed by instinct, the ability to accept or absorb risks (or confidence) and competence in the field.\u00a0 There is a point of attention; dummies are usually quick in making decisions, but in this case the results can be catastrophic because they can\u2019t properly evaluate the consequences of their decisions. Only when you are an <span id=\"urn:batch-analysis-eb1f106d-39a0-4123-ae6d-21d808aa9f02\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-no-link wl-other\" style=\"user-select: auto;\">expert<\/span> in your field can you make calls good and fast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"user-select: auto;\">The <b style=\"user-select: auto;\">impact<\/b> defines the breadth (and the repercussions) that it will have within the context of belonging. This means that in different contexts the same problem has different impacts and requires different decision-making tools. So, for example, a simple task such as ordering some pasta for lunch can have a huge impact if there are some celiacs in the <span id=\"urn:batch-analysis-93d7e1de-46de-459e-a8d5-3417cf98945a\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-no-link wl-other\" style=\"user-select: auto;\">team<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"user-select: auto;\">Flowing try to involve the maximum number of <b style=\"user-select: auto;\">people<\/b> that it is possible, or advisable, in the decision-making process, through the selected tool. Involving people is important to have more points of view and must be supported by a strong sense of respect for the competences on the treated domain. So the general idea is not to create a democracy (a head, a vote), but to recognise the value of competencies and results far above titles and hierarchies.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"user-select: auto;\">The game of levers<\/h2>\n<p style=\"user-select: auto;\">It is hard to take into account these three foundations at the same time. For this reason, every time a decision must be taken, the best tool for that decision is adopted. The rationale to decide which tool is the best for a specific decision is based on <b style=\"user-select: auto;\">the game of levers<\/b>. That means we need to order the three foundations from the most important to the least important one. The order will change according with the type of decision to make and the tool will change according with the priority we selected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"user-select: auto;\">Here is a summary of the different tools based on the priority of the foundations:<\/p>\n<p style=\"user-select: auto;\">\n<p><center style=\"user-select: auto;\"><br style=\"user-select: auto;\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1094 hoverZoomLink\" style=\"user-select: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image2-2-1024x798.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image2-2-1024x798.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image2-2-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image2-2-768x599.png 768w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image2-2.png 1248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"user-select: auto;\">\n<h2 style=\"user-select: auto;\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p style=\"user-select: auto;\">Flowing is still in the process of the adoption of open governance.
