Have you ever wondered if the world of work can be different? Where coming to work is a happy and satisfying experience? Have you ever considered that there are alternate ways to run organisations without hierarchy and bureaucracy? Where teams work in synchronicity working together towards a common objective? Can you imagine a place of work where the boundaries between home and work is reduced? How you can bring your whole self to work that not only makes you happier, but increases your productivity, creativity and sense of purpose? Or do you ever worry how your organisation will grow, whilst still maintaining its small 'start-up' culture?
A group aimed at the Cambridge community
Reinventing Work Cambridge is a new chapter of Reinventing Work, a grass roots movement and global community for people interested in more human-centred, purposeful and self-organised ways of working. Free to join, the group hopes to organise a range of virtual and (in due course) real get-togethers to discuss and learn from example organisations such as Patagonia, Zappos, Netflix, Haier, Spotify and many others which have demonstrated that work can be fun, fulfilling and high-performing at the same time.
We hope to explore how some of the concepts and models used by these organisations could apply to the organisations typically found in the Cambridge community: young, innovative, growing, ambitious.
We will share experiences of bringing some of self-organising practices to our own work environments. And we hope to learn about and practise some of the methods, tools and techniques that are commonly used by these types of organisations.
Join us and help shape the group
Join our first – virtual – get-together on 27th January 2021 at 5.30pm and help shape what this group can be all about. Practising what we want to explore, this group will be run on self-managing principles, so all are invited to actively contribute ideas and initiatives. Membership is free and open to anyone.
Special Guest
For our first session we will be joined by Tania Eber, an experienced team coach and organisational development consultant for Buurtzorg, a Dutch community care organisation and one of the most famous examples of self-managing organisations. We will have the opportunity to grill Tania on how it all works in practice and how organisations can learn from examples such as Buurtzorg.
