Warande Advisory Centre’s Post

Another interesting and useful whitepaper by my exceptional business partner Martijn Pater and colleague Maarten van Bemmel. Building coalitions, often including competitors as well as bringing together public and private organisations, has become a central pillar of Fronteer’s work. Also, we believe that #coalitions are the only way to tackle the complex transition challenges of our time. In this white paper, we share experiences and propose an approach for dealing with the inevitable bumps and pitfalls that many coalitions encounter.

Join us at the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) Annual Conference for a can't-miss session, and say hello to the Hunden Partners team at Booth 410! Take advantage of this opportunity to hear directly from Rob(in) Hunden, CEO of Hunden Partners. His presentation will provide insights on Placemaking Action Plans: How Economic Developers are Coming Together to Lead the Creation of Great Places. Session Description: Historically, elected officials have led city and county placemaking efforts. DMOs and EDOs have marketed the existing place and product but have not often influenced what the place and product are. Today, it’s different. DMOs and EDOs should be at the forefront of leading placemaking and destination development efforts for optimal visitation and quality of life. ▪ Hear how, through placemaking asset mapping assessments, place-vision, and execution, you can determine the opportunities and how to develop them. ▪ Learn the steps in the placemaking process, from assessment to strategy to tactics to execution, and understand how your colleagues across the country are reinventing their places. #HundenPartners #IEDC #Placemaking

If you haven't heard of the coop movement and bossless organizations - you're 255 years behind. You can catch up by watching this podcast. 👇 Keep in mind that the first documented consumer cooperative was founded in 1769 in a barely furnished cottage in Fenwick, East Ayrshire, when local weavers manhandled a sack of oatmeal into John Walker's whitewashed front room and began selling the contents at a discount, forming the Fenwick Weavers' Society. Nowadays, cooperatives are everywhere. More than 12% of humanity is part of any of the 3 million cooperatives in the world! The largest 300 cooperatives and mutuals report a total turnover of $2.4B, according to the World Cooperative Monitor (2023). I'm currently in Argentina, and I'm surprised that here you have cooperative bars, restaurants, and even barber shops. It's wild. Software is eating the world, AI is eating software, but coops are eating collaboration and culture. Enjoy your meals ;) #WorkplaceCulture #WorkLifeBalance #Collaboration

The #LivingLabs focus interview of today brings us to the Portuguese LL: two case study areas, a Community of Wildfire Innovation numbering in the hundreds, five national partners, dozens of Innovation Actions 💫 ...well, it's not only a matter of numbers but about embracing the various aspects of resilience with efforts directed in the landscape, social and technological dimensions.
