Networks

Making decisions without an elected board and agendas

Loose networks and activist groups without a formal structure of statutes, board and agenda meetings can use digital democracy to make decisions.

The PROBLEM

There are advantages to choosing the network as an organisational form: no hierarchies, boards, agendas and minutes. However, a key problem is that many networks may find it difficult to act together effectively - how can they make important decisions together and control a common pot of money?

The Solution

Digital democracy offers new opportunities for networks to organise themselves and make quick and effective decisions together. In an online forum, everyone can participate on an equal footing by discussing, making suggestions and voting. It becomes possible to organise the network, share work and pursue common issues without having to form a non-profit association.

Why digital democracy?

Making decisions without forming a non-profit association
Use Flowback - our digital democracy tool - and empower your network to make decisions without formal agendas, minutes, annual meetings and boards.
Prioritize how to use common resources
As a network, you don't have an association account or a decision-making structure to adopt a budget. With Flowback, you can easily prioritize how a common pot of money is spent through smart budget voting tools.
Complete solution for planning and meetings
As a network, it can be difficult to afford to buy advanced tools for video meetings, document management, etc. Use our free video meetings, document management systems and meeting schedules.
