Definition

Every individual member or unit of the organization acts as a node. Each node possesses goals, skills, perspectives, and roles contributing to the broader organizational direction.

Autonomy

Nodes operate with a high degree of autonomy, empowered to make decisions and take action aligned with both their personal SPIRAL objectives and the collective goals of their circles.

Development

Continuous personal and professional development is encouraged, equipping nodes with the ability to adapt and grow within the evolving frameworks of FFNs.

SPIRAL Practitioners

Nodes use SPIRAL to navigate and implement change, aligning with any broader circle's SPIRAL.

Information Sharing

Transparent and open communication channels ensure that information flows seamlessly between nodes, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and collective wisdom.

Resource Distribution

Flows facilitate the equitable distribution and sharing of resources, ensuring all nodes have access to what they need to contribute effectively to their circles.

Relational Connectivity

Beyond functional aspects, flows nurture interpersonal relationships and emotional connections, which are vital for trust-building and collaboration within and between circles.

Self-Organizing

Circles form around common goals, projects, or interests. Their composition is fluid, allowing nodes to move freely in response to the shifting needs and priorities of the organization.

Non-Hierarchical

Circles operate without traditional hierarchies. Leadership and roles are distributed based on expertise, interest, and the needs of the moment, rather than fixed titles or positions.

Scalability

While circles are self-contained units, they are also part of a larger network. Each circle is a node within any broader circles, mirroring the fractal nature of FFNs.

SPIRAL Alignment

Circles employ the SPIRAL framework at a collective level, ensuring their actions contribute positively to the organizational ecosystem and its adaptive evolution.
