Thank you to all the #sustainability, #circulareconomy, #regenerative, #wellbeing, #waste and #climate practitioners who attended our Radical Collaboration event yesterday! Our event was kindly hosted at Beca and supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in New Zealand. Why 'radical' collaboration? In order to tackle our incredibly challenging systemic problems and 'move fast, together', we need to collaborate much more effectively, and in a high-trust environment. What we learned: We heard from Juhi Shareef, CoFounder of Project:Moonshot on the context that the indigenous Māori doughnut can provide for the circular economy, and Maartje ten Brummelaar and Nicole T Garofano, PhD, AAIP from Planet Ark Environmental Foundation shared practical examples of the opportunities that collaborating on a circular economy can bring. We then heard from Debbie O'Byrne, MBA of Planet Price on how the Living Labs methodology can help tackle some of NZ's 'wicked’ systemic problems such as: * scaling regenerative agriculture * identifying new ways of creating value for farmers * reducing construction waste * transition plans for removing gas infrastructure from our cities * the data challenge * Auckland's traffic (!) Get involved: We will be sharing videos and insights from the event in the new year. In the meantime, we need to know who's working on what! We've started to map change-makers across Aotearoa and what they're working on, so we can start joining the dots. If you'd like to share your projects, let us know here: https://lnkd.in/gfxbVvwj) and we'll share this map of incredibly committed change-makers with you.

🎒 Two years of exploring ecovillages paving the way for research in organizational behavior 🌳 "Ecovillages inspire us to redraw the possibilities of humanity's future. They are also incubators for research into collaborative and self-management modes of governance, which are gaining ground in businesses and organizations in the broadest sense. The exploratory takeaway from this journey with ecovillages leads to consider that an organization embracing collective organizing should consider clear governance and regulations as a grounding principle."
