REDESIGN THEIR ORGANISATION IN A WAY THAT IS MORE CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH THEIR MISSION TO PROTECT AND CELEBRATE NATURE
THE BRIEF
80 LOCAL CHAPTERS NATIONWIDE
STRUGGLE WITH CHALLENGES LIKE MAKING GROUP DECISIONS AND KEEPING MEMBERS MOTIVATED AND INVOLVED
KEYSTONES WOULD BE MULTIFUNCTIONAL, TEMPORARY NETWORKS ASIDE FROM THE GEOGRAPHIC CHAPTER
MORE ABOUT PERSON TO PERSON THAN CHAPTER TO NATIONAL BODY “THE ORGANISTION WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL WHEN THE NATIONAL BODY WAS LEARNING AS MUCH FROM THE CHAPTER AS THE OTHER WAY ROUND”
SYMBIOTIC INTERDEPENDENCE BETWEEN THE FUNGI AND THE ITS ASSOCIATED TREES
LOTS OF IDEAS GENERATED - EACH CHAPTER COULD CHOOSE FROM A MENU OF INITIATIVES
TOP DOWN MANDATES CAUSED A LOT OF FRICTION
RECOMMENDED A SURVIVAL SIMILAR TO ‘R’ SPECIES - LOTS OF OFFSPRING WITH FEW SURVIVING.
"Things like the need for face to face contact, or feeling valued, or mutual respect between national and local parties were a challenge for us since we needed to really abstract the biological aspects," Morgan.
"People just don't behave functionally, they act emotionally, and it felt like a place that biomimicry could have a hard time connecting with the behavioral aspect," Fulton Suri.
