Collaborative Governance Resources

The Many-to-Many System is a collection of learning, resources, frameworks, and tools to support ways of thinking, organising, and governing for the reality of collaboration that crosses the siloes that we often get stuck in. It offers ways of organising and contracting that can include disrupting traditional norms, assumptions around ownership and expertise, and hierarchies of power to create equitable, collaborative, governance structures fit for the messy reality of creating change in a challenging world.

LocalMotion has been part of the Many to Many System of practitioners working with Dark Matter Labs to trial and test the Many to Many System resources in real world collaborations dealing with entangled issues.

The Many to Many System resources are for you if:

  • You want to discover tools and step-by-step guidance on creating a collaborative governance and contracting system
  • You’re already doing this work and are dealing with organising challenges like local conditions that aren’t ready for change, stuckness, coherence or mission drift and tensions and fragmentation, and want inspiration to work through it
  • You’re looking for learning from case studies and insights gleaned from the field testers for this work
  • You’d like some more fit for collaborative purpose legal ‘architecture’ to support your collaborative governance
  • You want to know more about the Many to Many System team and their learning along the way.
