Changemaking in an organisation

Do you want to make a change within your organisation, but feel kind of stuck in trying to start something? We've met a lot of you over the last 5 years. This February issue is especially for you.

Read Elselien Epema's blog with 4 steps for intrapreneurs called "4 waves an intrapreneur can catch to change the course of a cargo ship". Read the blog about the vision behind Start.Me.Up, a program that sets intrapreneurs off on their own learning journey. And check out the video of the Pop Up Hub at Groene Golflengte 2013 to learn what a conference looks like when Art of Hosting principles are applied.

Let's make 2014 the year in which ambitions become practical plans so we can take steps towards the world we imagine for ourselves! Don't want to do it alone? Join us

WHAT'S COOKING?
   
An open learning environment for intrapreneurs

Where do you go when you want to learn to make a change within your organisation, but you don't know how? You can read a book or hear a story about how someone made a difference somewhere, but the question remains: How do I start learning to think this way?

Our Impact Hub answer: peers, experts and an open learning environment. We called it Start.Me.Up. This one day program starts your own learning journey.

Read more about the thinking behind Start.Me.Up. and reactions from participants.

 
4 waves an intrapreneur can catch to change the course of a cargo ship

Elselien Epema: "Let me take you back to the time I was an intrapreneur, in which I felt the excitement and frustrations myself and came to something fulfilling, something that actually worked out quite well.

Don’t expect a heroic million-dollar-best-selling-author-story now. It’s all actually quite straightforward. A story with learnings you might easily relate to and use in your own situation.

A few years ago I was involved in the development of a new innovative design curriculum..." Read more.

 
Different ways of working in your organisation: Pop Up Hub

What happens at a conference when when you create space that allows for the knowledge gained in workshops to cross-pollinate and be applied? 

At Groene Golflengte 2013, Impact Hub Amsterdam hosted a Pop Up Hub facilitated by experienced hosts, a filmmakers duo and a graphic facilitator. Also present was a poet who reflected on the process at the end of the day.

For most Groene Golflengte attendants, this was their first experience with such a way of working.

Watch the film to see what they learned.
