We have lost so much collective community wisdom over the past centuries (colonialism, capitalism, individualism etc). As a result many of us are badly out of practice. What if we - collectively - became good again at community? Thoughts in my new post: medium.com/together-insti…

Do you lead, or take part in, a virtual Community of Practice? A CoP maturity model from the very wise people at @WeAreOpenCoop: blog.weareopen.coop/towards-a-matu… At the start, we should focus on building strong foundations of connecting relationships, not overwhelming people with actions.

Co-creation in community is soo important. And yet often sooo exhausting… What can we do to make the process more energizing? Learnings: Don’t assume everyone wants to co-create, make the invitation time-bound, be clear about commitment & have leadership. medium.com/together-insti…

Have you ever participated in a collaborative project, where the ultimate conclusion is that we should've invested first into relationships & trust before building out project infrastructure? It feels like the obvious less we keep forgetting, again & again medium.com/together-insti…

There is much hype about web3 as a tool to strengthen community. For good reasons. But most of that is hype. Most arent ready to be used by wider audience. Meanwhile there are powerful, non-crypto community tools hiding in plain side. Here are 4 of them: medium.com/together-insti…

"Social Impact" is such a brutal term. And yet it reflects quite well how we're thinking about change. It's time to try change the metaphor towards something that is more life-giving. What metaphors are working better for you? medium.com/together-insti…

What if community weaving was about creating EXCUSES for people to connect more easily? For some of us (incl myself) connecting with others doesn’t always come easily. That’s why I’m so grateful when community gives me an excuse to connect with others. medium.com/together-insti…

Startup friends out there: we're having a HORRIBLE exp with Wise & wanted to warn you. They can freeze your accounts at any time to "verify" your transactions for up to 2 weeks with no explanation. 2 weeks you can't pay employees, contractors... This can be fatal for a biz.

What if we organized our communities (and other collective projects) around a purpose question (vs a purpose statement)? What you think? medium.com/together-insti… #community #networks #collaboration

I always felt that jazz music is a great analogy for community: emergent, relational, but still needs a fluid sense of coherence and alignment (especially in contrast to more structured, pre-planned classical music).

I was recently asked what the biggest barrier is to having thriving communities. My answer: time. Nobody got time for deep community. Here some reflections on how to weave community when everyone is feeling stretched thin medium.com/together-insti…

How do we weave healthy communities? That's been our inquiry for the past 5 years. And so proud to share with you all the Community Weaving Framework. It has 5 elements: The Fire, the Web, the Rhythm, the Circles, the Spiral. How does this resonate? community-weaving.org
