Nice find, Brook! Reminds me of this quote <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqt61tnCKnU#t=18m10s> from a documentary on economic democracy I started watching last night:
One of the things that's really attractive about co-ops—worker co-ops in > particular, but most co-ops in general—is that they have also a slew of > social benefits, which we're just really learning how to talk about. Some > of those benefits include things like what we call social capital in > general: learning how to do teamwork; work with other people; be a leader > when you need to be a leader, but stand back when someone else can be the > leader. So what we're finding out is that people who are involved in co-ops > also tend to be much more involved in their communities. They take on other > leadership roles: maybe on a board of some other local organization; maybe > participate in their credit union. They might, if they're a parent, be more > involved in a parent organization. They might get more socially involved, > because they get used to speaking up, they get used to the transparency in > the co-op, and they start to expect that in the rest of their lives. ---- Chad Whitacre http://whit537.org/ +1-412-925-4220 <(412)%20925-4220> (cell) On Sun, Jan 8, 2017 at 8:23 PM, Brook Manville <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Open Org friends--came across an interesting resource, a sort of open > source collection of cases and lore about participative organizations and > processes..do any of you already know it? lots of overlap with open org > thinking.... > > http://participedia.net/en/browse/cases > > By the way, my discovery came about during some research I was doing on my > newest blog post on "disrupting democracy"--for those of you not on my > regular distribution, you might find that too of interest: > > http://www.forbes.com/sites/brookmanville/2017/01/08/time-to > -disrupt-our-powder-wigged-democracy/#19e232642cb0 > > Kind regards > > On Thu, Jan 5, 2017 at 6:57 AM, Bryan Behrenshausen <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> ### Editor's Note ### >> >> Hey there, friends!
