Does Sociocracy help achieve better decisions?
A. What sociocracy looks for the is the best decision possible at the moment so the group can move forward. By moving forward the group then gets more information and can modify the decision, improving it through action rather than debate about hypothetical situations. The leading-doing-measuring cycle ensures the continual improvement of decisions and emphasizes that things change. Decisions do not stand for all time — they stand until new information indicates that they need to change. Thus the emphasis is not on trying to find the absolute best decision before you move forward. Sociocracy is the only process that seeks excellence because it seeks continuing improvement and decisions based on arguments, not the will of the rulers or the will of the majority. Not only are arguments presented but they are tested and the results measured as objectively as possible based on their objectives (aims). This is an ongoing process focused on defining aims and measuring the results.
