# Governance & Decision Making Our governance structure has been designed to reflect our vision of an emergent organisation that is in **permanent beta** and adapts to rapidly changing environments. Influenced by concepts of self-organization, [stigmergy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigmergy) and distributed leadership, we aim to keep contributions models and our governance structure as organic and agile as possible. **OuiShare is a do-ocracy**, which means that decision making is based on actions. The governance structure that exists today has been developed by a distributed team that is growing the community locally and globally. The following pages are a guide for active members, Connectors and those who are curious to how we make strategic and day-to-day decisions in OuiShare. ![](/files/-LAxFGemisM066ADkg2t) ## Further resources * We write about experiences with OuiShare's governance on [**our Medium publication**](https://medium.com/ouishare-connecting-the-collaborative-economy) * For more background on how governance has involved in OuiShare and knowledge assets for the area of governance, check out [**this map**](https://www.mindmeister.com/de/878922792?t=2gzqhdqoGE) ![](/files/-LVbRK0wseiSpRNIodBf) Please visit our[ **Governance Map on MindMeister**](https://www.mindmeister.com/878922792?t=D8QXjToDrC#) for more knowledge in this area. *Would you like to make **changes or improvements** to this handbook?* [***Read how here.***](/contributing-to-this-handbook.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
