<span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:#1d2129">Enspiral began in 2008, when founder Joshua Vial realized he could earn enough to live on by contracting as a computer programmer part time, leaving the rest of the time to work on social good projects. Then he realized
that if he could support others to do the same, the total impact would vastly increase.</span><span style="color:#1d2129"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

of collaboration, autonomy, transparency and diversity and the processes, agreements and culture form the foundation of the network. A cooperative in structure, Enspiral has quickly become one of the world's pioneers in new ways to organise work.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">Culture is at the heart of the Enspiral network. We'll examine the cultural and technical processes and practices we use to build the network and
strengthen the ventures and humans within it. Some of these include participation, agile processes, personal and professional development, checkins, external facilitators, communication retreats, away days, feedback, retrospectives, kindness) </span><u></u><u></u></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">Experiments fuel ongoing understanding and are key to ensuring that whatever we're doing -governance, customer or project-related - is validated (or
not). Taking an experimental and considered approach unlocks new learning and possibilities for projects and our ongoing evolution. You don't know what works until you try and no one else will know unless you share it!</span><u></u><u></u></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">Agreements define the important processes at Enspiral. The process for creating and changing Agreements is defined by the way in which we make Decisions
which in turn is defined by the way in which we establish trust and accountability for individuals and ventures within the network. During this session, we'll discuss some of our experiments in collective strategy setting, 'catalysts' and 'independent pods'. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
