Microsolidarity with Richard Bartlett | Scaling Thriving Networks: Mission Impossible?
Channel: Greaterthan
Date: 2022-07-15

This session is part of Greaterthan's Solstice Jamboree (https://greaterthan.works/events-jamboree) and connected to the course Thriving Networks (https://greaterthan.works/academy/thriving-networks). 

About this event
From our experience of working in change-driven networks for over a decade, scaling them in a way that preserves their culture and allows them to thrive is challenging. Important characteristics of a thriving network──such as dealing with conflicts and tensions in a healthy way, recognition of care work and member’s needs, openly talking about money and creating rich spaces for learning──often fall short as the networks grow above a certain size.

This leads to the question: what can networks do to avoid this and balance these characteristics as they grow?

To explore this question, this event brings together network members and leaders who participated in Greaterthan’s Thriving Networks course to reflect together, share examples from their own networks and exchange knowledge on this topic. Be a fly on the wall while they have a conversation about this juicy topic!
