Quotations from Clients

Training Workshop Clients

"The Centre for Social Innovation was extremely excited to partner with Jason Diceman to present his introduction to Dotmocracy. The event generated a lot of interest among our audience and was one of the best attended and most highly rated workshops we've held. Jason delivered the workshop with expertise and good humour, encouraging the group to work together in real time using the Dotmocracy process. This was the perfect strategy for explaining the process and encouraging all participants to delve deeply into this unique and promising facilitation technique.

Dotmocracy is an excellent way to make decisions within a large group, facilitating equal contributions among all participants and ensuring that the final results are truly reflective of the group."
Eli Malinsky
Program Manager, Centre for Social Innovation


"I've been dotmocracized twice and loved every minute! An excellent energizing way to bring "interactive brainstorming" to a whole new level. A process that gets EVERYONE involved!!

One of the things that I appreciated the most about Jason's facilitation technique is his "energizing style" and his ability to be inclusive of everyone."
Kathy Marshall
Executive Director, Womenspace



"I was really impressed by Jason's facilitation skills throughout his workshop. I thought that he was really good at reading the energy in the room and keeping it up when needed.

I've actually thought a lot about the dotmocracy process and how well it worked. I was even thinking about suggesting the process for a feminist collective I'm on where we notoriously get together 2 full weekends per year to make ONE decision. What struck me was the ease with which common ground could be identified with such simplicity (and places of tension, for that matter). I was a little worried that it would not be an engaging process because there wasn't as much discussion as usual, but I felt engaged, listened to, and invigorated by how much was accomplished."

"I am very appreciative of how user friendly you made the training and of course the time you took to explain everything in non-techi terms."

"Because of Jason's skills and vision we have something wonderful: two large, user-friendly websites that seamlessly share content through a common database. We can now add more websites to share more content across the portal. Jason was able to brilliantly tailor the open source software to meet our needs. Always patient, skilled and quick to sort out problems, Jason was a real pleasure to work with, directly, and as a crucial link in a collaborative team effort."
