title: Nemawashi Informal Alignment
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A Japanese organisational practice of informally consulting each
|
|
stakeholder one-on-one before a formal decision meeting, so the meeting
|
|
confirms rather than surprises. Originating in Japanese corporate and
|
|
bureaucratic culture, nemawashi (literally "digging around the roots")
|
|
prepares the ground for consensus.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Map the stakeholders
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The proposer identifies everyone whose support or non-objection is
|
|
needed for the decision to hold, including those outside the formal
|
|
meeting.
|
|
- headline: Consult each individually
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The proposer meets each stakeholder one-on-one, shares the proposal,
|
|
and hears their concerns, questions, and suggested changes —
|
|
before any group meeting.
|
|
- headline: Revise the proposal
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The proposer revises the proposal in light of what they have heard,
|
|
incorporating concerns or preparing responses for them.
|
|
- headline: Confirm in formal meeting
|
|
description: >-
|
|
When the formal meeting convenes, each stakeholder has already seen
|
|
the proposal and raised their concerns. The meeting confirms the
|
|
decision quickly.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A decision is confirmed in a formal meeting with no surprises, because
|
|
the real deliberation happened in prior individual conversations.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Nemawashi is not backroom dealing — it is respect for each person's
|
|
stake. Skipping it and springing a proposal in a meeting is read as
|
|
discourtesy, not efficiency. |
