I forget sometimes what I have written or done.
I came across this short piece with Danika Straith
We developed this after some BALTA research and Danika was doing a contract with McConnell Institute as I recall.
Anyways it is a riff on spreading or scaling an innovation in an effort to change systems. I still think the uniqueness of scaling deep has not been well grasped. Take a look.
2022
I retired from Athabasca University in late 2021, disillusioned with the then university leadership and its directions away from an open university's social mission to a fixation as an online university.
I remain connected to my old Faculty at AU as Emeritus but joined some community development practitioner colleagues and together we founded the Synergia Cooperative Institute.
You might be interested in the latest version of the Synergia Massive Open Online Course or MOOC entitled
Towards Co-operative Commonwealth: Transition in a Perilous Century
A university-based transition researcher, I have worked closely with activists, municipal governments, and citizens making systems change over my long career. Together we have learned from a vast community with diverse perspectives, visions of the future, and strategies for how to get there. A rich mix of peer engagement, positive critique, and even sharp disagreement.
