Thrive-in Collaboration News and Updates |
|
|
Dear friend, We are celebrating today because we are about to send out our first newsletter (ever)! Since we began Thrive-in Collaboration 2 1/2 years ago, so much has happened. We've juggled limited resources with increasing invitations, ambitious intentions and the responsibilities of living daily life. It's such a privilage to be invited to do the work we are doing, supporting others to learn and evolve in collaboration. And we are forever humbled as we navigate the same learning journey for ourselves. The last year has been much about building new connections, and consolidating many strands of our work through application and repetition. This year we are looking forwards to spending more time on documenting what we're learning, accepting more inhouse engagements and finishing off exciting projects that we've begun. For now our main focus remains on sharing Sociocracy 3.0 with the world. Here is some news on what we're up to: |

|
Widening the collaboration This last year we've deepened relations with some of our partners and also started new ones. We're particularly grateful for the ongoing collaboration with Jef Cumps, who has joined us as an associate partner. We've delivered courses and created S3 related materials together and we're excited at the prospect of more to come. |
|
|
Reprioritization of work Along with inhouse engagements, this year we're prioritizing the creation of learning materials to support people to learn about Sociocracy 3.0 for themselves. As a result, we will be offering less Sociocracy 3.0 public courses than last year. Scroll down to check out our upcoming courses. |

We're filming! A resolution for this year is to create a series of videos to help people in their quest to learn about Sociocracy 3.0. We’re delighted that Luke Flegg - organizational development fanatic and film maker extraordinaire will be joining us to help with the production. |

WearLili - T-shirts with a message I (Lili) am excited to share with you a small project I began in December. Inspired by the wisdom that Sociocracy 3.0 captures in some simple words, I put together a website offering clothes with meaningful messages. For now the focus is on promoting a sociocratic and agile mindset at work. |

|
Help us to map out the world of sociocracy For many years, I (James) have dreamed of a platform that brings together the various movements of people working to evolve a more sociocratic mindset within organizations. Now, Bernhard Bockelbrink, Sven Latzel, ourselves and others are working to realize this with a soon-to-be-launched website. If you are actively using patterns from Sociocracy 3.0, or other variants of sociocracy (Sociocratic Circle Method, Holacracy etc) in an organization - or know organizations that are and it's appropriate to share details - please consider completing this form as a step towards more thoroughly mapping out the world of sociocracy and helping grow a global learning community that transcends all borders. |

News from Sociocracy 3.0 incase you missed it: |

- The latest version of the Sociocracy 3.0 - A practical guide launched in October 2017 with various updates that were long coming. Some changes are significant, like dropping the word "framework" to describe Sociocracy 3.0. You can find the changes in this changelog and the latest downloadable version here.

Due to our decision to reduce the number of courses for this year, and the growing interest from people to learn about Sociocracy 3.0, our courses are filling up fast. The Sociocracy 3.0 Deepening Workshop in Belgium beginning next week is long sold out. We are considering to run another Deepening this autumn. The course in Zurich in February has sold out too. If you missed it and Zurich is your preferred location, you can join our next course there in October. Keep an eye on our events page for updates that are coming soon. Meanwhile here's details of published upcoming courses that still have places available. |
