Flat structure decision making & prioritisation processes

This policy from RadHR describes how a flat-structure team makes and prioritises decisions through two distinct processes: an advice-based approach for smaller or sub-team decisions (where individuals have autonomy but must seek input from those affected), and a consent-based approach for major strategic and budgetary decisions (where disagreement must be accompanied by constructive counter-proposals). It also provides a set of guiding questions for prioritising new work and opportunities at both organisational and individual levels, including a specific framework for deciding whether to attend external meetings or events. Fundraising decision-making is noted as being covered separately. The policy assumes a collaborative team culture using tools such as Slack for transparency, and references governance bodies such as a Global Council and trustees for escalation.
