Case Study: 10Pines achieves transparent, consent-based team decisions with Loomio

10Pines streamlines 80-person salary decisions with Loomio

10Pines, an 80-person worker-owned software consultancy in Buenos Aires, faced the challenge of scaling its radical commitment to collective, boss-free decision-making as it grew. Their old methods became inefficient, and they needed a tool to facilitate transparent, inclusive, and documented discussions for major decisions like salary-setting. They turned to the vendor Loomio to provide a platform for this digital democracy.

The solution implemented by Loomio provided a structured, asynchronous space for 10Pines to make consent-based decisions, where a single objection could pause a proposal for deeper discussion. This created a searchable archive of decisions and their reasoning, freeing up in-person meeting time for more complex matters. The results were a more efficient and transparent process; the team found their life became "a lot easier" after adoption, and they have never had to override a legitimate objection, strengthening their collaborative culture.
