Democratising seems to be a word which is used all over the web, yet often not within the internal structures of businesses. The more I see people 'democratising' the more I believe that a misunderstanding of its meaning is rife within leaders of the business world
- Democratising is not abdicating.
- Democratising is not opening up a little, hoping that people won't realise what you still keep to yourself.
- Democratising does not mean you have no role, it just means your role changes from the controller to the facilitator
- Democratising does not mean that everyone can cope with every piece of information. Filtering is not censoring, filtering is creating value
- Democratising does not mean less control, it means more engagement if done correctly
