Network Convening
We weave and strengthen NETWORKS by convening key stakeholder groups or actors across system boundaries in service of some of the most pressing systems issues of our times.
We bring the network through a structured change journey which creates alignment towards
innovative strategies that enable action and commitment.
What does network convening help to create?
when is network convening needed?
Fragmentation and lack of effective coordination is preventing the network from fully maximizing its collective impact
There exists an urgent need for key actors to collaborate across boundaries towards a more cohesive, system wide strategy in service of a specific set of issues (e.g. disaster relief or climate action; greater circularity of energy, water or waste systems; regenerative food systems, poverty eradication, homelessnes and houselessness prevention etc.)
The network is underutilized and would benefit from better structures that enable collaboration, resource and information flow between key actors and organizations.
A large group strategic planning meeting that convened 150+ key actors from across the value chain could potentially shift the network into greater cohesion.
You need to design a framework for your network that 1. maps the players within the network 2. empowers shared leadership 3. coordinates key system initiatives 4. unleashes self-organization of participating organizations for increased network effectiveness.
