Co-creating engagement with the Open Decision Framework #

Speaker and Talks | Slides | Video

Culture is not built, it emerges. How do we support an environment and community where people are volunteers with limited time and commitment?

Using the Open Decision Framework to support the creation of engagement and making decisions that we can all stick to is key in a community.

In this talk I will introduce the Open Decision Framework and share examples and learnings from how we used the ODF in our company to co-create our vision statement in an organisation of over 5000 people. How we collaborated remotely, the benefits and pitfalls, and how an open decision set us up for success.
