Thank you so much, Tonnie Van der Zouwen, for inviting me onto your podcast to talk about the collaboration that produced the “blueprint” on Funding Governance for Systemic Transformation. Those who are interested can find the paper here on the website of r3.0, the organization that initiated the blueprint development process and invited me to be a co-lead author: https://lnkd.in/exE8QCuF
It’s worth noting that, as we discuss on the podcast, the approach we used to empower a team of thirty people to produce the 170pp paper was greatly influenced by my love of Open Space, the dialogue process that brought the two of us together last summer for the Co-creating a World that Works for All Summit.
With pride I announce the 9th episode of my podcast series on ‘Creating a level playing field for collaboration’. Ben Roberts shares his experience with a collaborative Blueprint writing project.
We delve into the challenges and successes of co-creating a blueprint for systemic transformation. Learn how shared ownership and action learning led to blueprints for innovative funding practices. Hear firsthand accounts of how the team of the Blueprint Project navigated the complexities of shifting power dynamics and fostering a truly inclusive process. Tune in and be inspired by Ben’s stories of regenerative funding, the power of collaboration, and the potential for creating a more equitable future.
