We’re excited to share the second installment of Blueprints for Change - our new blog series that takes you behind the scenes of Headwaters’ journey to transform our internal structure, policies, and key practices! 

This time, we’re diving into Headwaters’ decision-making practices!

Since 2022, we’ve shifted from a traditional, top-down individual approach to decision-making to a democratized, team-based, and input-rich decision-making model.  

Thanks to this work, we’ve built tools, processes, and workflows within the organization that make sure we all have a voice. This hasn’t just changed how we work - it has also fundamentally shifted and strengthened our culture. 

In our latest installment, you’ll find:

• Access to Headwaters' full step-by-step collective decision-making tool 
• Examples of how we put our decision-making guidelines into practice 
• Challenges to decision-making and how we approach them 
• Steps you can take to start exploring and practicing democratic decision-making
• Resources Headwaters used to inform our decision-making shift
