STOP PRESS:
1) We are pleased to announce inclusion of an opening session on Lessons for all of us from the banking crisis, at the open event 1.30pm on 12th July. Book now to secure your place.
This highly participative event will address the question:
How can we adjust our organisational practice to increase collective impact and better serve common interests, wealth and well-being?
This will now open with a session 'Lessons for us all from the banking crisis'. Dr Claudius Van Wyk will examine the need to understand and transform the mindsets and unarticulated models that underpin undesirable behavior in organisations. He will lift the lid on ways to alter the structures, systems and ways of working needed to manifest the change in behaviour and results needed for the collective good and thereby contribute to the sort of world we would like our children and grandchildren to inherit.
The afternoon will include a collection of short presentations on the topic followed by exploratory discussion in small groups including:
-
Ray Charlton on ‘What does it take to be a leader in the context of the commons?; How do we lead in a way that evokes participation and uncovers the deeper need so as to optimize collective contribution made’
-
Charles Bazlington author of ‘The Free Lunch’ on the commons and currently involved in setting up a community bank
-
An overview of the Model of Sustainable Organisation
-
Barry Mapp on ‘Lessons from the Human Brain (& neuro-science) to help us work together collaboratively and better serve our common interests’
-
Tony Brown, ex Director of Quality at BAe Systems on management processes for engaging everyone in contributing positively to the wider ‘system’
2) A date for your diary – Thursday 25th October 2012
James Quilligan, advisor to governments around the world and Chair of the Global Commons Trust is returning to the UK and we are pleased to host a workshop progressing our exploration of how we can adjust our organizational practice to increase collective impact and better serve the world.
‘The Commons’ are the physical/planetary, intellectual, social, or cultural resources or ‘wealth’ necessary to everyone’s wellbeing both now and for future generations.
We will take a broad approach looking at the ‘how to’s of ‘Commoning’ and how, in all our work, we can apply the ideals & principles to increase our collective contribution and be good stewards for the good of all; producers, consumers and all effected. Hold the date. More details will be available soon.
Best wishes
