Evolving Landscapes of Practice

An extraordinarily diverse group of individuals and organizations particiapte in the Chaordic Commons. They are committed to organizational and institutional initiatives in a wide range of fields. We envision the Chaordic Commons and Terra Civitas encompassing:

  • A network of educators, learning programs and educational institutions linked on the basis of chaordic principles.
  • Health care initiatives that use the concepts of self-organization and self-governance to link citizens, health care practitioners, health care institutions, insurers and payers in new partnerships.
  • Community alliances that form around the country to integrate concerns for economic, environmental and community health and sustainability.
  • Researchers, thinkers and leading-edge practitioners allied in working groups to advance the leading edge of knowledge and practice organization design, strategic change, corporate responsibility, sustainable development and other fields.
  • Leaders and managers in chaordic organizations - or individuals leading organizational change initiatives - participating in networks of collaborative learning and mutual support.
  • Evolving partnerships among organizations in business, government and the nonprofit sector to address problems or pursue opportunities that transcend existing sectors.
  • Philanthropists and investors cooperating to create new financing or funding collaboratives based on new concepts of ownership, investment, capital and return.
  • Multi-stakeholder community groups that undertake community revitalization initiatives, using chaordic principles to organize themselves.
  • Business networks that organize around common concerns such as social responsibility, new perspectives on corporate governance, or other issues.
  • New international development "marketplaces" where funding agencies, investment banks and philanthropists can learn about and support innovative community-based development initiatives.
  • Consultant networks dedicated to developing new approaches to organizational design and development, creative tools and materials, and collaborative consulting opportunities.

    These represent only a few of the myriad possibilities. Over time they may all choose to continue participating in the Chaordic Commons, or new Commons may form to focus on specific dimensions of the whole.
