I attended a talk on Sociocracy by Transition Town movement. Interestingly it was more from the communal deliberation and decision-making perspective rather than the structure and systems angle.
One theme that came up regularly was not so much alignment as pace.
The community should prototype ideas and create new spaces within the axes of “Good enough for now” and “Safe enough to try”.
This seems a better frame than either the crashing bull idea of “Move fast and break things” that Silicon Valley founders seem to like. Also it seems better than the “Better to seek forgiveness than permission” idea that digital innovators in government systems can be seduced by.
Both of those phrases and frames mean that action and consequences are tightly bound to the individuals choosing to prototype. Safety is peripheral to innovation.
“Good enough” is also a liberating idea for people. The thing can be tried now as long as you care for others deliberately. Waiting for perfect is waiting for ever.
Good enough for now.
Safe enough to try.
