''“By changing the way we communicate, we change society”'' - Clay Shirky

So how do we communicate? You may hear a lot about autonomy during recruitment, and autonomy doesn’t come without transparency. How do we ensure this transparency? By communicating publicly as much as possible on a platform shared to everyone in the company, Google+. Heard about it yet? If the answer is “no”, you’re off to a bad start, but it’s not too late. Create an account. Go check it.

Google+ is now becoming your mailbox. Your main communication channel.

- Within the first hour of your life at Officience, create a Google+ Account.

- Check it every day. How much do you check your mails? Well, that much.

- Be open, share your activities, your feelings, your life in the company.

- Before sending a mail, stop and think: “Can I put it on Google+ instead?”.

- It is now your mailbox. No more mails. Just Google+.

You may forget to add Offy in your circle, but don’t forget adding [https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/114247689785052683839 Offyspace community]. A place to meet other Offies, know what’s going on in Officience, share your latest project updates or simply your feelings!

==== On your own you shall decide ====

A very important principle of our organization is that each of us can make any decision as he or she sees necessary to the pursuit of Officience’s success.

There are a few simple rules to ensure consistency and harmony, we call that this the Advice Process:

1) Before taking your decision you should take advice from all the people who will be impacted by your decision. It's up to you to identify them.

2) Before taking your decision you should also take advice from all the people who are experts in the subject matter of your decision. It's also up to you to identify them.

Taking advice means listening actively and with consideration. However it does not mean you need to do as they say, neither that you have to reach a consensus before moving on.

Remember that it's YOUR decision. You make it, you are fully responsible for it. For a few specific decisions that we have to take routinely, this Advice Process principle has been implemented into Dinh (*) to help us run them (salary review, purchases...). But in case no custom tool has been designed, the process shall still be hold and you can use generic tools like Google+ or Hangout as platform for your decision.

''(*) Dinh is our OpenERP-based ERP system used mostly to allow individual time & skills management, opportunity and invoice tracking, people profiles update and purchase follow-up. The best way to learn how to use it is to ask your fellow Offies!''
