What is the optimum size for a group?
• In this instance we are referring to a Circle Meeting group which implies that the Aim of the meeting is to make policy decisions for a defined membership. Circle Meetings in Sociocracy are not staff meetings. More than 12 – 15 participants in a circle meeting process can become unwieldy. However, the affairs of a larger group can be governed by a smaller number of selected representatives. Such as a Board of directors serving a membership. When implementing Sociocracy in a large organization it is best to contract with a certified Sociocracy consultant to assist with designing organizational structure.
