Open Decision Framework

The Open Decision Framework is a tool for making collective decisions in a transparent and inclusive way. It is useful for open leaders who seek to build open organizations.

Background

Many organizations grapple with the challenges of fostering and maintaining an open organizational culture. To assist with this work in a practical, pragmatic way, the Open Organization community helped create and continues to maintain this flexible, iterative framework for applying open principles to organizational decision-making processes. It's designed to help decision makers and leaders seek out diverse perspectives and collaborate across teams and geographic areas to facilitate better decisions. The Open Decision Framework began as a Red Hat project and has grown to reflect the collective intelligence and ongoing research of the Open Organization project and community.
