Our operating procedures

Ways of working together:

  1. Autonomy – trust one another to do something – not micromanaging or second-guessing
  2. Be clear with our expectations of one another
  3. Ownership of thoughts
  4. If you say you will going to do something, do it
  5. Agreement that we will have different ways of making decisions, but that we will always have full agreement of how we decide (i.e. we will strive for full consensus, but in some cases we may need to defer to the majority or look for additional alternatives – in those cases we will always capture the essence of the dissent and consider it before finalizing decisions
