Groundwork
PRELIMINARY OR BASIC WORK
How would it feel if each act of your organization reflected what you hope to create in the world?
We believe that social sector organizations must create ways of doing business that manifest exactly what they hope to see in the world, or they are simply recreating inequities and exclusion. Whether big or small, those discontinuities chip away at us as individuals and at our collective work. We believe the remedy is good and inclusive governance along with a culture and practice of organizational learning.
The processes, practices, and norms of governance (means as ends) are the pre-conditions of success or failure for organizations and initiatives, and a culture of learning with the robust and reliable practices creates the operational conditions to be shaped by the data and stories that matter most.
