Organising From Elsewhere

“A radical idea that might just transform the way we organise (or just ‘work together’) to bring about the economic, political and social changes so urgently needed.” Our current ways of organising – hierarchical, democratic, consensus-based – have arisen from and are underpinned by the notion of separation: Organisation is perceived as solving the problem of coordination between individuals that are separated by their goals and preferences… If we continue to use organisational methods shaped by this assumption of separation, we will continue to fail – as seen recently in our failure to prevent the ongoing holocaust in Gaza or the rise of the Far Right.” To do this means committing “to always doing things in a way that increases a felt-sense of interconnectedness,” which means actually understanding “what interconnectedness is and how it feels,” how it is being enabled, and what can practically disable it. Organising From Elsewhere are initiating a learning cycle to explore this.
