Edwin Jansen on how people adopt self-management at Fitzii
...Lisa Gill: I'm curious about moving onto more of the realm of habits and processes and practices because I know at Fitzii you have your role advice process. So you mentioned there about 'Radical Responsibility' and if someone sees something rather than complaining or pointing a finger or whatever, they'r...more
... someone sees something rather than complaining or pointing a finger or whatever, they're encouraged to do something about that. So what is the 'Role Advice Process' and how does that work? Edwin Jansen: Yeah, the 'Role Advice Process' I'm particularly proud of. I like to say it's the closest thing to a panacea t...more
...r whatever, they're encouraged to do something about that. So what is the 'Role Advice Process' and how does that work? Edwin Jansen: Yeah, the 'Role Advice Process' I'm particularly proud of. I like to say it's the closest thing to a panacea that I've ever seen in business: you got a people problem? Do a 'Role A...more
...s' I'm particularly proud of. I like to say it's the closest thing to a panacea that I've ever seen in business: you got a people problem? Do a 'Role Advice Process'. And we had read this book a few years ago called 'Prime to Perform' and it was like Dan Pink's 'Drive', but a much more data driven way, and they e...more
... I could be maximising things if I was in a slightly different role or maybe an entirely different role", they announce that they're doing this 'Role Advice Process' publicly, they ask some specific people to be advisors, but anyone can be an advisor, we use Loomio so that everyone can see all of the feedback and...more
...ce Processes, like almost every year. Basically, each person may not know where to be, but the group knows exactly where they should be. So the 'Role Advice Process' is just answering that question: "What should I be doing? Where should I be?" And it works beautifully....more
...generally in Fitzii? What practices do you have for that? Edwin Jansen: Well, after reading Laloux's book we obviously started experimenting with the advice process and yeah, that obviously works quite well. One challenge there is people not intuitively knowing in each case how much advice to get and what vehicle...more
... a generative decision-making session with those people who really care about it. If it doesn't impact a ton of people, then you go through a typical advice process. And so that flowchart helps people to navigate their options and ultimately make a decision that leverages collective intelligence efficiently....more
...ind of experience where, "Okay, now, I know, that's not a big deal at all". And and then we started doing what we ended up calling the 'Compensation Advice Process' - so anyone who wants to address their compensation would announce. We have the option of doing it each quarter, and they essentially answer a numbe...more
...tions around how they feel about their comp, how they got paid, do some market research, and then they go and get advice, and just like with the Role Advice Process, you can see all of the feedback and advice that people are getting in Loomio as they're going through, and there is a bit of pinball happening there...more
...ntially, if any one particular group has at least one person that is past that stage, then at least there's going to be that voice represented in the advice process around compensation or role. And that's what we've noticed. Like Laloux says: "The level of consciousness of the group can only go as high as the lev...more
...igence assessments. Then this idea of leadership development being a team sport, it's so fascinating because someone, let's say, goes through a comp advice process and they are proposing a $10,000 increase, and then they get a bunch of feedback saying, "I'm not so sure that you should take any increase right now...more

Miki Kashtan on the three shifts needed for self-managing organisations to thrive

...ised, you need to have clear agreements, clear criteria, about when you do this, when you do that, how you function and all of that, which is why the advice process is such a wonderful tool, because it moves you in the direction, regardless of which side you started from. It moves you in the direction of collabor...more
...akes which decisions, who else is included, who finds out about it, and what processes are used, etc. And so, you know, if a group decides to use the advice process, then the system is this: who makes which decisions? Anyone can make any decision. That's the purest advice process, it gets modified in Holacracy sy...more
...ow, if a group decides to use the advice process, then the system is this: who makes which decisions? Anyone can make any decision. That's the purest advice process, it gets modified in Holacracy systems based on roles, but essentially, who makes which decisions? Anyone can make any decision. Who gives input? The...more
...ning the forms for asking advice under which conditions, developing more criteria for it, can be really helpful to people, because the shift into the advice process is very hard for people. It's like it needs to be jumpstarted, people don't just start doing it just because they hear it's there because of the inte...more

Frederic Laloux with an invitation to reclaim integrity and aliveness

...onent, which is all structures and systems. And so when you tell me you had this conversation with the leader, like, “I told people now, go into it, advice process, just do it, and then nothing happens!” And so maybe people just aren’t ready. Like maybe people aren’t mature enough. And that might be a reason, ri...more

Aaron Dignan on being complexity conscious and people positive

...terline, it's not a problem. There's a lot of empowerment, a lot of autonomy. If they suspect it might be below the waterline, then they engage in an advice process. And we see that actually, throughout a lot of the cases that we looked at, this idea of a decision stack - things we're all allowed to do, things w...more
