A Handbook for Network Builders Seeking Social Change
This handbook provides the growing number of people who are developing networks for social change with practical advice based on the experiences of network builders, case studies of networks small and large, local and international, and emerging scientific knowledge about “connectivity.”
A thought guide to growing innovations well
Shared Assets share three publications to help groups that are considering scaling up; case studies, thought guides and a group decision-making toolkit.
Business Model Canvas
This canvas is to help work out the business model that sits behind a business plan.
Business Model Tools
Business Models Inc shares canvases to create new business models and value propositions.
Campaigning, decision making and facilitation
Seeds for Change offers us a list of resources for campaigning, decision making and running workshops.
Catalyzing Networks for Social Change
This guide is for grantmakers who are just beginning to explore and experiment with networks and for those who are further along and want to reflect on their practice.
Community Shares
Community shares are interesting to networks because they could be used to raise capital for network activities. They can save local shops and pubs, finance renewable energy schemes, transform community facilities, support local food growing, fund new football clubs, restore heritage buildings, and above all, build stronger, more vibrant, and independent communities.
Design Kit
Design Kit has resources on human-centred design to help you routinely innovate and solve big problems.
Holacracy
Holacracy started out in 2007 as a flat-governance alternative for fast-changing organizations. Here you can find resources to implement this organizational structure.
Losing Control
Losing Control shares a series of articles on flat governance, leadership and movement building.
Movement Building Canvas
The Movement Building Canvas is a practical framework to help you, your team or your organisation design your movement for maximum impact. Tested with NGOs, community groups and start-ups, it can be used at any time to explore movement building ideas.
Network evaluation
Network Impact shares a complete guide on how to evaluate networks with a special focus on networks for social change.
Sociocracy
Sociocracy For All offers us a complete library of resources to help us deploying a sociocratic governance structure.
