Network Structures: Innovative Governance and Decision-Making
Many networks organize governance and operations with structures that mirror those of organizations: governing boards, committees, and operations staff. Unfortunately, these structures have often been a bad fit with networks, leading to decreased involvement and engagement by network participants who aren’t on the governing board and shrinking network size and impact.
More and more networks are experimenting with and co-creating innovative network governance and structures that are self-organizing, encouraging, and supporting the formation of collaborative circles for many or all of the operations and coordination functions of the network.
June Holley will share examples and offer several checklists and strategy worksheets to help your network determine if these new structures might be appropriate for them.
