Breakout 05 | Framing “regeneration” inside platforms and business practices

Special Guests:

Luca Ruggeri

Platforms are becoming the pervasive, dominant model for organizing in a hyper-connected, technology-enabled world. They have a massive impact on the ecosystems they enable, thanks to the efficiency of the interfaces that platform business and organizational models offer.

On the other hand, we are living in an age where politics and institutions are failing: not capable of dealing with complexity and uncertainty; slow in responding to the emerging needs and pressures we are facing; not providing actionable intervention frameworks that can tackle the challenges at the global level.

We need to scale creativity, awareness, responsibility, entrepreneurship, continuous learning, and channel this into the renewal of our collaborative institutions.

Supporting individuals AND organizations from all walks of life (from the bootstrapped idea to established incumbents) to adopt an ethos of human development is now key.

We can build organizations by which we can all address ecosystemic challenges, reduce externalities and actualize whole societies: we believe these innovative models can help us go beyond simple, mechanistic ideas such as net-zero towards embracing real regeneration.

By mixing up the leverage capacity of Platforms with the intention of being regenerative we can explore a new development thesis: one of place-based economic opportunities; fostering self-organizing; connecting globally around practices and global commons; coordinating all the contributions and efforts already emerging towards the massive institutional reinvention that awaits us in the 21st century.

The event will be an opportunity to:

FRAME

through conversations

Get an overall framing to identify and understand the big shifts happening in the economy, technology, and society.

DISCOVER

through hands-on workshops

Emerging techniques to design new strategies, success stories, and leverage talent to develop efforts and enterprises that are deeply connected within the ecosystem.

SENSE-MAKE

to be curated, in this and follow-up meetings

An opportunity to collectively peel back assumptions and set the tone for responding more practically to what emerges collectively from our active participation on June 11th.

Special Guests and Hosts Confirmed

Co-founder & Executive Director at Dark Matter Laboratories

Indy Johar

Redrawing the Human Development Thesis for the 21st Century.

Indy Johar is architect and co-founder of Project 00 and most recently Dark Matter Labs. Indy is also well-known from his role as non-executive director of the WikiHouse Foundation and has - on behalf of 00 - co-founded multiple social ventures like Impact Hub Westminster and Impact Hub Birmingham and serves many different advisory and teaching roles. Indy is really a great thinker when it comes to going beyond “corner shop size” social transformation initiatives to explore the next generation of institutions living at the edge between public, open and private.

In our boundaryless conversation, we explore what he thinks will happen to organising, institution-building and human potential, as we move beyond an information age towards an era where building capabilities for antifragile institutions is key. As bureaucratic failures in the Industrial and Information ages have been driven by near-zero transaction costs, where autonomous technological development has taken over human-led managerial processes, existing governance models are left with no capacity to “govern complexity”. Indy posits that we need a new human development thesis and institution-building mechanisms, which depart from the failure we’ve seen in the past decades and which gives us the capabilities to: deal with risk, be creative, be emotionally intelligent, be collaborative and to learn.

With Indy, we ponder on how the political landscape is going to see tension between dissent and consent. In our current macroeconomic thesis focussed around a labour market, we have created precariousness that uses dissent as an operating and power-shaping tool. Instead, new politics need to be able to create multitudes of conversations that can evolve towards building consent as the core operational engine.

I have a deep desire for people and planet:
- for the formation of meta-infrastructures for cross-sector experimentation;
- for increasing community capacity that is rooted in healthy peer-to-peer agency; and
- a priority for blended finance to support ongoing gathering and dialogue in the name of all of it
- doing so in a way that is neutral from founder or funder / organizational or corporate agenda

As a transition specialist & mentor who works across public, private & philanthropic sectors, I’ve always loved working with the kind of leaders who really want to BE someone who makes a difference not just for their teams, but also for the world & for humanity.

The kind of people who are upping the ante for themselves & still appreciate having a beginner’s mind. The kind of people who are willing to go deeper & discover something different about what they thought they knew - especially about themselves - and bring wholeness to their role.

I access 25 years in non-profit, family-run business and family offices, and have served over 500 clients across 33 industries and 4 continents. I make it my mission to continually get to know what’s REALLY happening out in the field, and what it takes to BE in ongoing Practice with it daily.

Ted J Rau

Ted spends most of his time training and consulting in sociocracy and leading SoFA as an organization. Ted is co-author of the sociocracy handbook Many Voices, One Song. He enjoys writing articles, and teaching meeting facilitation. People and their universal need to connect and move things are at the center of his attention. He pays attention to the co-housing movement, transgender rights, and non-violent communication.

Outside of SoFA work, Ted is a parent of 5, former linguist, and singer-songwriter. His first career was in Academia where he worked in syntax/semantics and pragmatics -- and the big question of what's a fact from a linguistic perspective. Within the last few years, his life has changed in big ways. He worked full time, then spent 3 years as a stay-at-home homeschooling parent, now is back to working full time again. In the same time frame, he's done his gender transition.

The training in linguistics taught Ted to find patterns that work well for the human mind, to work empirically, and break things down so they can be understood. Being a parent of 5 had taught him to be extremely pragmatic... maybe this earned him the label of being a "manifestor"; at the end of the day, dinner must be on the table no matter whether the new vision statement is done!

Exploring Regenerative Evolutions

As a theme for the event, we will explore what makes a Platform regenerative – the concept of value itself, for example – and how efforts or organizations everywhere – whether public, private, or grassroots – are pioneering regenerative solutions for a rapidly changing world.

We will explore how regenerative platforms:

1 Are non-extractive in that they embody cooperative ownership, agency and self-governance. 

2 Are purpose-driven in that they provide for human needs  within our planet’s ecological boundaries

3 Go beyond Net Zero and help embrace complexity awareness

4 Automate to scale but design to encourage human connections, and emphasize the role of participants as the lifeblood of the system

5 Embody time-tested principles of living natural ecosystems. Focus on the health of the whole as a means to individual wellbeing

6 Enable a cosmo-local orientation, where global action is adapted and implemented in local contexts

7 Scale knowledge sharing and collaboration but keep resource and energy flows local. Incorporate multiple forms of capital to create synergistic value flow

8 Explore what it will take to not only be comfortable but also thrive being in uncertainty while adapting to different contexts as they emerge.

9  …and something we’re all still learning about together.

An online collaborative sense-making session

We believe that fostering conversations among platform designers and entrepreneurs, social and local enterprises, process designers, facilitators, BCorps, community-owned businesses, the Zebra movement, the Fourth sector, and many more… will steer the momentum already in process to co-create frameworks of collective societal renewal.

We believe this event will help us kickstart a collective inquiry towards scaling regenerative platforms across all contexts, offering a fertile ground for seeding ways for us to thrive through the transition in the midst of complexity.
