By philosophy and necessity in a worker cooperative, all people who must carry out a decision have to consent to the course of action. Everyone should get a say in the direction and conditions of their work (and no one gets to say they are just following orders). This provides a good minimum baseline for a good decision-making process, along with hearing from everyone involved, making decisions based on data, and scheduling a time to revisit decisions.
When a decision strongly affects more than those who carry it out, however, we need better ways of making these decisions. This is an issue for larger worker cooperatives (really anything over three people, with any degree of task specialization) as well as for hybrid/solidarity cooperatives including platform cooperatives. Fortunately, we can scale conversations and decisions in a fair and truly democratic way.
* Come with at least a passing familiarity with various ways decisions are made in worker cooperatives, your own or others.
* Leave knowing about sociocracy and sortition and how these esoteric concepts could make our worker coops, and larger community, scale.
