Organic Design Charter

Organic Design is a group of committed individuals whose purpose is to provide people, communities and businesses with innovative and effective methods of communication and organisation.

We create bottom-up organisational models which provide pathways to independence through knowledge and collaboration.

Mission

Our mission is to create open access to the best solutions available and the methods with which to implement them independently providing individual empowerment and facilitating collaborative outcomes.

  • Toward this end, we create innovative organisational frameworks and model organisation systems. We provide the models with the goal of establishing a network of aligned organisations, sharing knowledge and pooling resources, to facilitate the bottom-up development of solutions.

Strategic objectives

Our mission can be sub-divided further into the following objectives we are working toward, for ourselves and all of those we are aligned with:

  • Learning Organisation: To provide methods and tools which facilitate the widespread and bottom-up creation of learning organisations, for productive and harmonious group work.
  • Independence: To develop and maintain the resources and knowledge required to maximise local independence and sovereignty, through the promotion of community developed and owned software and organisational templates.
  • Resilience: To strengthen local community resilience in the face of change, by developing robust organisational procedures and software systems which are resource-efficient and self-contained where possible.
  • Reuse: To reuse existing knowledge where ever possible, by aggregating and connecting existing knowledge and expertise and working to open standards.
  • Utilisation: To aid in the effective utilisation of existing resources, minimising waste and work wherever possible, by fostering the mapping and connecting of all kinds of resources into a unified organisational framework, for the benefit of all.
