Trust grows as people experience that their voices and contributions matter. Systems adapt to feedback and self-organize more productively, like healthy ecosystems in nature.

Collaborative decision-making processes enable teams to make decisions that reflect a diversity of voices, while remaining open and adaptive to complex, changing conditions.

The Collaborative Governance Canvas

The Equity Manifesto
