What if your organization could become "blu," transforming it from a command-and-control way of operating to a more democratic style? What could be the lasting value to your organization for making this transition?

And what could an organization expect to see as a result of designing and implementing a democratic organizational strategy over time? According to our research and experience, some of the outcomes from embracing organizational democracy could include:

• Increases in productivity, profitability, sales, and efficiency.
• An increased ability to attract top talent and decreases in voluntary turnover.
• Increases in employee engagement.
• Improvements in customer service ratings.
• Steady growth rates.
• Increases in market share.
• Increases in levels of creativity and innovation.
• Increases in organizational alignment and overall levels of trust.
• Increases in an organization's overall adaptability and agility.
• A heightened level of civic engagement by employees in the organization's community.

Organizational democracy provides value because it is comprehensive and systemic, transforming an organization's environment and culture while developing leaders at every level throughout the organization.
