How might we...
- Practice/Emergence: How might we practice the five elements?
- How might we alter/innovate mainstream board structures/roles/committees to consciously move beyond corporate capitalist genetics in our board?
Hypothesis
If we forensically inquire into board structures from a post-capitalism standpoint, then we will discover new ways of organizing governance…
Design
email/phone conversations with current board members
- email/phone conversations with current board members
- Summary of those conversations
- Decisions of board about becoming a post-capitalist board
Metrics
Success:
- We make at least one substantial change to board structure
- Board members feel a sense of lightness and liberation, that it isn’t necessarily that hard to do this.
Failure:
- A board dialogue that at minimum gets us onto the same page about corporate/ capitalistic genetics in board structures/functions.
- A minority of board members who really don’t engage, or find the conversation important.
Learnings
this initial idea morphed into the experiment on networked governance, led by Trish and Natalie
