Disclosure · what is sharedoptional
A design session for anything meant to last: the group works through five elements in order — Purpose (why the work matters to those affected), Principles (must-dos and must-not-dos), Participants (who must be included), Structure (how control is distributed), and Practices (what we will actually do) — each drafted alone, refined in fours, integrated together. An initiative's constitution, co-written.
