PI principles

Our commitment to be the change we seek

Power-sensitive governance is at the heart of our aims, so we’ve carefully consideredhow we should work and have agreed two sets of principles:  

  • We’ve adopted feminist leadership principles to guide our behaviour and cultureDeveloped by Srilatha Bathliwala, they embody power sensitivity and self-awareness. The principles foster diversity and inclusion. We will apply them with a specific commitment to acknowledge and dismantle all forms of bias.    
  • For our structure and how we take decisions, we’ve taken inspiration from  sociocractic principles. We decide by consent, not by consensus, through a process of rounds. This creates space for each voice and perspective. More information on this process and its benefits can be found on Sociocracy For All’s site.     

We’ll share more about this as we start putting our ideas into practice and would appreciate learning from experiences you may have in these areas. Watch this space for opportunities to share or explore learnings.
