Please let me know if you’d prefer not to receive occasional emails such as this.** *Enspiral are in Sydney, 5th December, hosting a workshop at the Michael Crouch Innovation Centre, UNSW* Enspiral began in 2008, when founder Joshua Vial realized he could earn enough to live on by contracting as a computer programmer part time, leaving the rest of the time to work on social good projects. Then he realized that if he could support others to do the same, the total impact would vastly increase. By 2011, Enspiral had become a collective of passionate professionals - people who could have been freelancing independently, but instead chose to collaborate and work together to allow them the resources and flexibility to pursue charity and social impact projects. What happens when you get a bunch of ambitious, talented, values-driven people together in a vibrant coworking space and empower them to think big about positive impact? They launch social enterprise startups, of course. Enspiral grew from a collective of individuals to a collective of more than a dozen social enterprise ventures.

Enspiral lives in high-trust, personal relationships. Principles of collaboration, autonomy, transparency and diversity and the processes, agreements and culture form the foundation of the network. A cooperative in structure, Enspiral has quickly become one of the world's pioneers in new ways to organise work. They are interested in sharing experiences, challenges, experiments and some of the innovative tools and practices that they’ve developed at Enspiral.

We'll examine the cultural and technical processes and practices we use to build the network and strengthen the ventures and humans within it. Some of these include participation, agile processes, personal and professional development, checkins, external facilitators, communication retreats, away days, feedback, retrospectives, kindness) *Experimental and Open Source* Experiments fuel ongoing understanding and are key to ensuring that whatever we're doing -governance, customer or project-related - is validated (or not). Taking an experimental and considered approach unlocks new learning and possibilities for projects and our ongoing evolution. You don't know what works until you try and no one else will know unless you share it! *Governance and Finance* Agreements define the important processes at Enspiral. The process for creating and changing Agreements is defined by the way in which we make Decisions which in turn is defined by the way in which we establish trust and accountability for individuals and ventures within the network. During this session, we'll discuss some of our experiments in collective strategy setting, 'catalysts' and 'independent pods'. -- Check out the Commons Transition Plan here at: http://commonstransition.org P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
