Control Accountability Participation Speed Examples when it is useful


Autocratic individual decision maker none fastest in chaotic situations where there
is no time to consult
Majority vote collective collective yes fast in simple situations that require
(but superficial) speedy decisions and quick
consultation
Advice process individual decision maker yes fast when the situation is
complicated and requires deeper
contributions but the decision
needs to be expedited
GOING HORIZONTAL

Consent collective collective yes fast when it is important that people


are actively part of the process
and the focus is on action
Consensus collective collective yes low when unanimous support is
necessary and the focus is on
relationships
