Nothing becomes real unless you practice it
- Thich Nhat Hahn
Enspiral is a bold experiment in participation by design. We use the tools of business to create positive social impact and develop software and practices for non-hierarchical, open and participatory working cultures.
We prioritise a way of working where people can focus their energies on what is most meaningful to them.
Enspiral Labs are offering workshops across Europe to give people context, tools and an experience in open participatory systems, based on our lived experience of working in a non-hierarchical network of startups.
There are two workshop formats covering a set of 5 modules on these standard business concepts.
- Governance: What's it like to have legal liability and limited power? (Our answer: Minimal Viable Board)
- Finances: How do you democratically fund a community? (Our answer: CoBudget)
- Decisions: How can you come to consensus with 300 people and not sit in hour long meetings? (Our answer: Loomio)
- Management: How do you hold accountability and support in an organisation without managers? (Our answer: Stewards)
- Leadership: How might distributed leadership actually work? (Our answer: Catalysts)
