When: Wednesday, 3 April
4:30 pm – 6:30 pm

Add to: iCal – gCal

(See OPEN COOP website for map and further detail)

Could we model a formula for organisational collaboration on three simple rules?

  1. Cohesion
  2. Seperation
  3. Alignment

…and define a protocol to aggregate, visualise and disseminate the resultant murmurations?

This free webinar on “Catalysing collaboration at scale” is the first even of OPEN 2019 organised by The Open Co-op exploring ideas around The DNA of Collaboration and Harmonious Working Patterns.

We have convened a panel of community builders, technologists and collaborators to explore ideas which might help all the people, communities and organisations working on creating a new, decentralised, regenerative economy collaborate better to produce more impact.

Everyone is welcome to log in and listen to a discussion and participate in the Q&A.

We will be hearing from:

The panel will explore questions such as:

  • What examples can you give / have you seen of group and intergroup collaboration working well?
  • What do you see as the key ingredients / tenets / requirements for successful collaboration?
  • Once collaboration is working within our groups, how do you think we could encourage more inter-group collaboration to achieve wider systemic impact?
  • Plus, the concept contained in the posts on The DNA of Collaboration and Harmonious Working Patterns and examples and ideas from the panels’ projects.

The webinar will be held on Zoom – you will need to download the Zoom package and then click on the link to Join the webinar – there is no need to register in advance.

In this session, Vivian Woodell, ex CEO of The Phone Co-op and now head of The Foundation for Co-operative Innovation, leads an open discussion to find answers to help tackle “The capital conundrum”.

]]> SolidFund is a (relatively) new initiative designed to support the creation and sustainability of worker cooperatives. Members pay at least £1.00 per week and the resulting funds go into a common pool – a solidarity fund – which is used to support cooperatives around the UK. The fund currently has over £74,000 at its disposal.

From their website:

“We want a strong, growing and self-reliant network of successful workers’ co-operatives.
We will achieve this by creating a permanent common fund, paid for by members.

  • You help SolidFund to strengthen worker co-operative solidarity
  • You’re a member of a common wealth resource, paid for by individual and group subscriptions
  • You support industrial democracy and collective ownership
  • You help SolidFund develop worker co-operative support activities
  • You and other members discuss and decide on the Fund’s activities and future growth”
