Context

Over the last five years, by working with entrepreneurs, start-ups founders and team, creating the conditions for a better coordination of high quality decisions has became my focus. Decisions are crucially linked to solve problems. Understand them relies on our ability to decide. The latter has also a systemic impact which requires an awareness of our connectedness with others beings, the contexts, the environment and the value we exchange. At the 2023 Regens Unite Berlin gathering, I delivered a workshop about the embodiment of the decision making process and interdependence awareness.

Approach

The two hours workshop was a safe container for 12 participants. I designed a journey to stimulate and alternate analytical and emotional engagement to embody the understanding and challenges of deciding for a collective benefit. With a group movement exercise, I fostered collaborative energy, empathy, listening and adaptation. A conceptual intro about ecosystem governance set the tone to dive into power dynamic exercise. The teams engaged with a data ecosystem mapping canvas and a decision making storyboard. Each group presented and shared feedback to each other.

Outcomes

The main validation was how the teams learnt the emotional condition to go through the governance process. As decisions are intangible topic, the teams turned what and how to decide into a storyboard to visualise a potential actionable plan. Along with the ecosystem mapping and governance action, teams could explore human potential and unleash better coordination. Also, the team shared how the workshop increased the comfort with ambiguity and uncertainty. The workshop is part of the roadmap I am iterating to provide a better coordination of decisions and collective agency as well as to practice ecosystem thinking to problem finding and solutions.
