Process & Culture Lab

Our work focuses on:

🔧 Organization & Governance Design – Building clear, consent-based structures that distribute authority and increase team coherence.

🌀 Complexity-Informed Strategy – Supporting groups to navigate uncertainty with integrity, responsiveness, and shared direction.

🧠 High-Fidelity, Collective Sense-Making – Facilitating practices that surface diverse perspectives and lead to wiser, more accountable decisions.

Along the way, we’re collecting, evolving, and sharing proven methods from experienced participatory organizations—so others can learn from what's already working.

The Process & Culture Lab is:

💼 Practical – We offer facilitation, coaching, and co-design support to help teams apply what fits and adapt what doesn’t.

🤝 Collaborative – This is a space to learn by doing. Partners don’t need to be experts to start—they just need to be ready to experiment.

🌍 Purpose-Driven – We support work that advances justice, ecological stewardship, and democratic renewal—starting at the organizational level.

Democracy isn’t a theory. It’s a practice. Let’s build the capacity to do it well, together.

The working group is currently informally comprised of founding participants on this platform (refer to 'Members' page). As plans take shape and participation increases, the working group will adopt minimum viable governance structure, process & rhythm.
