The Essence of Prisma

To create safe and radical learning spaces where diverse roles integrate regenerative design and innovation to produce new forms of organisation and technologies aligned with the health of their ecosystems.

Our Premises

• All the products and services we develop must respond to the essence of Prisma.
• All learning designs must respond to local potential and carry regenerative virtues.
• All our products must harmonize social and technological innovation.
• Prisma evaluates its positive and negative impacts in the short, medium and long term through collective projection. (Collective reflection process for continuous transformation.)

Sociocratic Organising

An organising impulse that social groups form around, begins with a seed of potential. To work on this potential is this group’s purpose that calls them in to the organising activity. By answering this call, they together form a collective body that springs to life in response. This purpose is the first mandate item.

Mandate

The following list outlines a mandate by which the social group self-identifies:

1. Purpose
2. Accountabilities
   1. Roles - the entity taking responsibility for the accountabilities, who can also delegate
   2. E.g. Tooling
3. Domains
4. Vision & Mission
   1. Vision: an image, enlivening
   2. Mission: milestones and outcomes
5. Principles & Values (plus ways of working)

The most effective organising happens when coordination is shared.
