Hello! We’d love to hear from you. We are a Stewarding Group that has formed with funding from Lankelly Chase, to explore Transformational Governance.
Our vision is of a society in which institutions and organisations are supported and held accountable by inclusive, open, transformational governance that invites change, redistributes power, and enables everyone to thrive.
To play a part in making this change in society, we aim to catalyse the gathering energy of individuals, collectives, organisations and institutions who are actively interested in transformational governance. We will create a prototype for a well-held, resourced inquiry space with a facilitated learning cohort, to share and explore an area of interest in transformational governance.
Through a series of conversations in 2021 with 80+ people, we have identified several ‘hot’ domains of governance: from the power dynamics between people, to the policies and protocols that underpin organisations, to the way boards are structured.
When there is work to transform governance in one domain, this often catalyses transformation in others. Whilst we’d love to see governance transform at scale, people and organisations need to start somewhere. So we’d like to hear which domains of governance are of interest to you and are live in your work right now (see the expression of interest form below).
The longer term ambition is a set of interconnected, resourced learning spaces that catalyse, deepen and sustain transformational governance practice. We aim for this growing network of transformational governance practitioners to necessarily make change at all layers of the ecosystem, building collective leverage to shift rules and norms from grassroots through to funding and regulatory bodies in the UK.
We aim to deepen learning about how governance can be transformed, by:
While we are largely open about what the learning cohort will look like, we do have a few parameters…
We are looking to work initially with individuals or groups who want to transform an existing governance structure or process, whatever shape that might currently take:
