Organisations as movements: the Power and Challenges of Communities
In this session we will explore the new ways of working based on principles of collaboration and network dynamics. We will learn from the experience of networked organisations Ouishare and Enspiral
The era of comand-and-control is over, the world is no longer predictable, leaving the classical management models obsolete for most contexts. Still, the majority companies keep sticking to these models that do not allow them to adapt fast enough to market changes and keep their employees unmotivated.
The organisations that are taking steps to become more adaptable are transforming into decentralised ventures where people enjoy high levels of autonomy and are effective at expressing their creativity and potential. This new type of organization is a living organism that is well integrated in its ecosystem and can evolve with it.
In this session we will explore the new ways of working based on principles of collaboration and network dynamics. We will learn from the experience of the networked organisations Ouishare and Enspiral.
Ouishare connects people and accelerates projects for systemic change. We question and experiment with social models based on collaboration, openness, and fairness. We proudly have 60+ Connectors in 20 cities, organized + 300 events including 10 international conferences and published 9 research studies since 2012.
Enspiral is a network of groups and people, a DIY collective of social enterprises, ventures, and individuals working collaboratively across the world while fulfilling their purpose.
