Micro Medium is my effort to write succinct, insightful, punchy blogs in less than 500 words semi-regularly ! Do let me know how I am doing in the comments below!

I recently shared the latest newsletter from the West Hill Neighbourhood Watch that I co-organise alongside Erica Semerdzhiev. (if you would like a copy please comment or DM me).

The lessons around #selforganisation, #generative #listening #trust #activism #network effect and #innovation are so clear to see, yet what is also so clear for me personally as someone that is working on both a super local basis co-organising these schemes and concurrently within the globalised context, is how difficult many organisations find it to TRULY foster the conditions that we have co-created impactfully in just the past 8 weeks.

What are those conditions?

  • equity of voice
    - bold vision
    - unashamedly vulnerable
    - co-creation
    - listening, listening, LISTENING
    - intentionally inclusive
    - rapid iteration/experimentation
    - shared passion and commitment
    - start-up mindset
    - a love of a clean slate / mind

Could you and your organisation benefit from the above?

To what extent are the above a) desired and b) sought after?

We would love to hear any thoughts or reflections that you may have and have a great week ahead.

Shall we connect?
