Santa Barbara County Public Health Building

Learn how businesses & organizations around the world are "thinking 
smarter in circles"

Dynamic Governance (aka Sociocracy) is an elegantly simple, 
innovative new method of governing that creates more inclusive and 
efficient organizations, while creating better human relationships.

Join Dynamic Governance pioneers and experts John Buck and Manfred 
Friedrich for an introductory talk on Friday, January 9th, as they 
share the ideas and concepts of Dynamic Governance as a way to 
empower and bring out the best in people working together for a 
common purpose.

First developed and honed in the Netherlands, Dynamic Governance has 
spread around the world and is currently used by several thousand 
organizations with inspiring results. Working in a wide range of 
settings including families, volunteer groups, community 
organizations, non-profits, government agencies, schools and 
universities, small businesses and large corporations, Dynamic 
Governance rewires the decision-making process to mine the 
intelligence and creativity that already exists in an organization.

Structured around self-organizing circles that make policy decisions 
and assign tasks and responsibilities through various group processes 
that engage the perspectives, skills, and inspirations of all the 
members of a group, Dynamic Governance then strategically connects 
these individual circles to a wider interlinked organizational network.

John Buck co-authored We the People: Consenting to a Deeper 
Democracy, a book about a new, more inclusive way of governing 
ourselves using Dynamic Governance; and is the Division Director of 
The Sociocracy Group in the Netherlands, consulting with businesses, 
nonprofits, and collaboration councils around the world.

Manfred Friedrich is entrepreneur, organization builder, and mediator 
who uses Dynamic Governance to support organizations whose intentions 
are to foster collaboration, equality, personal growth, transparency 
and better decisions.

The event takes place on Friday, January 9, 7-9pm, Location: Santa 
Barbara County Public Health Building, 300 North San Antonio Road, 
Santa Barbara, CA 93110.  Admission $5-$10 sliding scale, no
