LLC Webinar Series | Scaffolding for System Shifting Networks
The document outlines strategies for creating system shifting networks that promote leadership development and social justice through collaborative research and innovative practices. It emphasizes the importance of communication, self-organizing mechanisms, and continuous learning among network participants to dismantle oppressive systems and foster new collaborative approaches. Additionally, it proposes methods such as innovation funds, communities of practice, and facilitation pools to support network growth and transformation.

- 6. Today’s Session 1. Relationships:Give you a chance to meet others on the call 2. New ideas: Hear from June, Yasmin and others on the call about the concept of scaffolding 3. Processing: Have a chance to ask questions and think about applications in your work for creating network scaffolding.
- 7. Breakout rooms ● Yourname ● Something about yourself (work, location, interests, etc) ● Why are you interested in scaffolding for system shifting networks? ● What is the system(s) you are working to shift?
- 8. A system shifting networkis one where participants self-organize and learn from numerous collaborative actions to better understand how to shift oppressive systems and co-create new options. In the chat, share the system you are trying to shift and if you are part of a network….
- 9. Groups of people inSystem Shifting Networks are continually forming new collaborations. 1 How are System Shifting Networks Created?
- 10. System Shifting Networksare continually bringing new people, especially those often under-represented, into their collaborations bringing in new perspectives. They work explicitly to dismantle racism, patriarchy and hierarchy - which gives space for new approaches to emerge. 2 How are System Shifting Networks Created?
- 11. In these collaborative projects,people learn new skills and new ways of working together, so leadership is continually expanding and the number of new projects continually grows. 3 How are System Shifting Networks Created?
- 12. Projects are seenas experiments – a way to get more insight into the system they are shifting. Networks learn what works and do more of it. They get insights that help them work in new ways. 4 How are System Shifting Networks Created?
- 13. People in projects taketime to share what they are learning with others in the network and in other networks so that everyone benefits from every project, whether it was a “failure” or a success. 5 How are System Shifting Networks Created?
- 14. Learning, breakthroughs and new insightsripple through networks and networks of networks so action becomes highly effective in shifting systems. 6 How are System Shifting Networks Created?

- 16. Scaffolding Basic structures thatwork together to support and accelerate the emergence of a system shifting network ● Communications ecosystem ● Support for self-organizing ○ Innovation Funds ○ Communities of Practice ○ Catalytic Network Weaver roles ● Tracking, reflecting and learning systems ● Network governance We are still in the process of co-designing and piloting these.
- 17. 1 Communications Ecosystem Places, spaces,processes and protocols for individuals and projects in a network to communicate, interact, self-organize, learn and share.
- 18. Sample Communication EcosystemFacebook Group & Slack (discussion, events) Group Email (share info, discussion) Interactive eNewsletter Twitter (bring in new ideas) (curate innovations on topic) Doodle or Meeting Wizard to set up meetings Video conferencing for group work and learning, CoP Google docs & Slack for collaboration Track network through dashboards Share Stories Share & Discuss Information Build Relationships & Collaborate Capture & Share Ideas for Innovation Track Network Development Web Page discussion groups/ database ScoopItLoomio for decision making 18 https://networkweaver .com/product/commu nication-ecosystem/
- 19. Grounded in andemerging from network values and behaviors: interact as peers, dismantling racism, patriarchy and hierarchy Need to work explicitly on shifting values so that the communications system doesn’t reinforce old patterns of interaction NETWORK CULTURE
- 20. Network Communications Ecosystem NETWORKCULTURE Network Pulse: See the Network As A Whole Network Reach: Share & Engage Outside Network Network Engagement: Draw in, connect and build relationships between people Network Action: Self-Organize & Get stuff done Learn new skills Network Learning: Track, Reflect and Improve Flows from culture to comms processes catalyzed by the NWs

- 26. 3 to JumpstartSelf-organizing 1. Innovation or Activation Fund 2. Community of Practice 3. Facilitation Pool
- 27. 1. Innovation orActivation Funds Small grants to collaborative projects to get people to shift to collaboration. https://networkweaver.com/how-to-set-up-an-innovation-funds/ https://networkweaver.com/encouraging-innovation-collaboration-at-the-gras sroots-gophil-seed-grants-in-nepal/

Communities ofPractice for Innovation Fund Recipients https://networkweaver.com/communities-of-practice-for-network-weavers/ https://networkweaver.com/best-practices-for-communities-of-practice-learni ng-networks/ 1. Share what each project is learning (spreads innovation) 2. Expand and strengthen the network through relationship building during session 3. Learn how to support each other with challenges (peer assist)
- 29. 3. Catalyst Roles FacilitationPool Experienced facilitators, trained in network facilitation, available to collaborative projects to help them learn new skills and practices (using technology, reflection, etc) The facilitator also models new ways of working together. Can lead CoPs, coach individual projects, coordinate projects.
- 30. Catalyst Roles Learning Weaver ●Captures learning from sessions and shares with the larger network ● Models and trains in learning and reflection processes
- 31. To get started…. 1.$10-15,000 for Innovation Fund 2. $3-5000 for facilitation pool 3. $5-10,000 for Community of Practice facilitation
- 32. What are yourthoughts and questions about Innovation Funds, Communities of Practice, and Facilitation Pools ? Let us know in the chat…..
- 33. Reflection/Learning is criticalto transformation 1. Culture we grew up in blinds us - taking time to reflect helps us see behaviors we need to shift, once we see we can help each other change 2. When we experiment, taking time to learn helps us see what begins to shift the system; it’s often not just the action but how we do it and with whom - and learning helps us notice what really makes change 3. We often make breakthroughs, have successes that we can’t even see - often sharing with others outside the project that helps us see we did something new and remarkable.
