Shaping Timelines for Multiple Perspectives - Worksheet - ProceedureJustin Fenwick
This document provides a procedure for creating a multi-perspective timeline. It involves having each party individually fill out a timeline first before reconvening to discuss and combine perspectives. The timeline scope and attributes are agreed upon first. Each party then privately lists dates, activities, descriptions, objectives, and their own involvement from their point of view. The parties then meet to share and use everyone's input to shape a new combined timeline, discussing any unexpected findings, gaps, or differing understandings between perspectives.

This document discusses the benefits of companies engaging with stakeholders in an inclusive manner to get feedback and ensure programs address stakeholders' needs. Effective stakeholder engagement can improve brand strength, allow for honest evaluation, contribute to shared ownership and trust, help identify real needs, lead to more equitable development, manage risk and reputation, pool resources to solve problems, provide understanding of the business environment, enable learning and improvements from stakeholders, and inform and influence stakeholders and decision-making. Regular feedback through engagement allows for continuous improvement of social programs and readily available reporting on relationships with strategic initiatives.
Side by side L3C vs. Non-Profit ComparisonJustin Fenwick
This document provides an overview and comparison of L3Cs and 501(c)(3) organizations. Some key points:
- An L3C is a for-profit entity that must significantly further charitable or educational purposes with no significant income production. A 501(c)(3) is a nonprofit tax-exempt organization.
- Both aim to have social and financial missions but L3Cs can distribute profits to members while 501(c)(3)s cannot.
- L3Cs allow for divided ownership and capital gains while 501(c)(3)s are governed by a board of directors.
- Hybrid models combining L3Cs and 501(c)(3)s can make sense when only part
Community Records Operating Agreement Ownership StructureJustin Fenwick
This document outlines the ownership structure of a company before and after an investment. Originally, the founders owned 51% of the common units as Class A members. After the investment, the founders' ownership decreased to 72% while investors were given up to 29% of the total common units, allocated between Class B and Class C members. The board of managers and artist advisory board would include investor representatives based on their ownership stake.
Justin Fenwick Creativity and Right Livelihood PortfolioJustin Fenwick
Justin Fenwick created 6 energetic diagrams on a plane ride home discussing social movement, information sharing, and management. The diagrams surprised him with what had been turned on inside of him. He must journal differences, capture new learnings, track them, adjust interactions with others to allow for authenticity, seek feedback, share ideas, validate others, and manage time flexibly. Learning to discover identity and have permission to go with instincts are important. Creativity is difficult work, especially in new contexts like business school. Holiday break will help him hold true to commitments to try living flexibly and flowing with inspiration, assessing feedback from the world. His goal is living fully each day.
1. Justin Fenwick held a creative session with a client to help develop their strategic plan, but it did not go as planned. Despite preparing an agenda, the questions were too broad and participants were confused about the purpose.
2. During the session, several participants openly expressed their frustration with the unclear process. In response, Justin scrapped the original agenda in favor of addressing the needs expressed by those in attendance.
3. While the creative session did not go as intended, Justin was able to collect over 150 ideas. He also identified several key themes and trends from aggregating the ideas that could inform the client's strategic plan and future work, such as being fully responsive to youth and facilitating their involvement in local

Session E – Rethinking the Arts Organization Model for Change and Advocacy: Room 330
Hybrid Organizations
Presenter – Philip Lauri, DETROIT LIVES!, L3C
For-‐profit
entities
often
don't
value
or
pursue
community
organizing,
while
nonprofits
typically
rely
on
grant
and
foundation
money
which
can
be
unsustainable.
What
about
a
socially
driven
entity
that
is
itself
a
brand
and
enterprise?
This
discussion
will
talk
about
innovative
business
practices
through
such
an
organization-‐-‐
DETROIT
LIVES!,

can
help
you

the
benefits
of
pursuing
that
middle
ground,
and
why
it
could
be
the
business
of
the
future.
So what?
A
discussion
about
leveraging
the
flexibility
of
being
a
hybrid
organization
to
blend
practices
from
the

world
to
create
innovative
enterprise.

Session A – The Healing Power of the Arts:
Room 200C
An Introduction to Creative Arts Therapies
Presenter – Kristi Davis, Founder, Creative Spirit Healing, LLC
The
creative
arts
(drama,
art,
dance,
music,
writing,
poetry)
have
tremendous
value
in
the
realm
of
holistic
healing,
personal
growth,
and
positive
life
transformation.
By
accessing
the
right
brain
world
of
symbolism,
imagery,
emotions,
and
patterns,
the
arts
offer
powerful
methods
for
uncovering,
expressing,
and
transforming
beliefs,
memories,
thoughts,
and
emotions
that
may
be
hindering
our
lives.
The
mere
act
of
creating
has
been
shown
to
be
a
healing
force
in
and
of
itself.
Hear
inspiring
examples
of
healing
and
change,
experience
a
small
taste
for
yourself,
and
witness
one
drama
therapist’s
story
of
how
the
arts
have
changed
her
life
and
helped
her
help
others.
So what?
People
will
takeaway
a
sense
of
the
extreme
power,
value,
and
importance
of
the
arts
in
helping
people
and
communities
to
heal
mentally,
emotionally,
physically,
and
spiritually.
Session B – Stay Local Market Global II: Building a Real Social Network Student Art Gallery
Presenter – Shawn Neal, Co-‐Creator/Producer, Groovebox Studios, GBS Detroit
Presenter – Jeff "fuzzy" Wenzel, Co-‐Owner/Producer, Groovebox Studios, GBS Detroit
Most
creative
entrepreneurs
are
told
about
the
value
of
using
social
networking
to
build
a
base
of
support
for
their
project,
however
more
often
than
not
this
results
in
excessive
amounts
energy
being
spent
generating
"likes"
and
"follows",
but
very
little,
if
any
real
world
buy-‐in
from
your
online
audience.
In
our
presentation
titled
"Building
a
REAL
Social
Network"
Shawn
Neal
will
be
discussing
how
GBS
Detroit
identified
and
built
a
massive,
real
world
network
of
musicians
and
their
fans
in
just
1
year,
and
how
it's
fostering
a
new
kind
of
Detroit
music
scene
by
becoming
the
match-‐maker
between
artists
and
their
financial
backers.
So what?
In
this
session,
you'll
learn
how
to
turn
your
online
support
group
into

Session F – ArtPrize from the Artist's Point of View
Room 352
Presenter – Margaret Parker, Margaret Parker Studio
Following
three
projects
of
mine
through
the
ArtPrize
experience,
I'll
talk
about
how
the
last
two
years
of
showing
there
have
affected
my
work.
Because
the
internet
is
a
central
thread
to
this
exhibition,
I'll
demonstrate
the
submission
process
as
well
as
my
Kickstarter
fundraising
project,
another
internet
driven
support
system,
that
was
needed
to
pay
for
last
year's
entry.
The
3
week
event
has
a
life
of
it's
own
and
I
stayed
for
1
week
with
a
Grand
Rapids
family
to
meet
other
artists
and
see
art
work,
observe
public
reaction
to
my
piece,
and
get
to
know
the
people
of
Grand
Rapids
who
put
on
this
amazing
event.
Exhibiting
in
this
major
show
in
our
state
has
helped
my
work
grow
in
scope,
quality
and
professionalism.
So what? ArtPrize
has
brought
national
and
international
attention
to
Michigan
as
an
art
destination
and
brings
tremendous
rewards
to
artists,
communities
and
the
state.

Rick DeTroyer
–
Growing
up
on
a
farm,
I
learned
to
create
using
what
materials
I
had
available
to
me.
As
an
adult,
I
taught
others
the
skills
needed
to
help
them
find
their
own
careers.
Now,
I
make
what
I
like,
sometimes
using
things
I
find
that
others
have
left
behind.
This
gives
me
the
freedom
and
power
to
change
my
surroundings
as
I
experience
new
ideas.
Nature
has
always
been
my
playground.
From
the
childhood
forts
in
our
woods,
to
walks
with
my
girls
at
our
camp,
an
idea
can
linger
in
my
mind
for
years
or
jump
right
into
my
studio
as
emotions
and
objects
coach
each
other
for
a
position
in
a
piece
of
my
work.
