Show Notes

Today's episode is about how to create decision-making mechanisms for the modern age and asks the question, who decides, who decides? 

The guest on this episode is Ted Rau, a governance designer, and a sociocracy consultant, trainer, and thinker. 

He works to make collaborative systems, based on willingness and dignity. In his own words, “The focus of my work is sociocracy - in a joyful and non-dogmatic way”. 

Ted has a background in linguistics, and is the co-author of the sociocracy handbook “Many Voices, One Song”. A few years later he wrote a book on decision making, named “Who decides who decides”. 

Lately, Ted has focused on governance literacy, and on how we can be better – also as kids – to understand and shape our governance and decision-making. 

Today’s co-host is Tore Nielsen, Co-Founder at Good Morning April - and host for this season is Erik Korsvik Østergaard, also Co-Founder at Good Morning April.
