Hi Craig, Shane has pretty much hit the nail on the head :-). We are certified by WorldBlu. The team are asked to fill out a completely anonymous survey each year and if we reach a certain standard we are certified as a democratic workplace. In truth it's not really a destination, more of a journey/aspiration and the great thing about WorldBlu is that they provide support to improve the democratisation of your org as well as a large network of orgs at different stages of their democratic journey.
I feel that the adoption of Agile values has led us to being democratic and we are now actively working to become more democratic - but as you can imagine it's not simple or easy (most things that are good and worthwhile aren't :-). If you are interested in knowing more give me a call or pop by.
