Where do you find yourself in this moment of systems transition? Are you pioneering the new? Hospicing the old? Supporting the in-between? Systems change happens in an uneasy space—between what’s fading and what’s yet to fully emerge. While we see glimpses of a regenerative future, extractive systems still dominate. So, how do we navigate this transition? 👉 Enter the Berkana Two Loops Model Developed by The Berkana Institute, Margaret Wheatley and Deborah Frieze, in the '90s this model maps out how systems change. As one system declines, another slowly emerges—not through sudden transformation, but through intentional transition. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: the old system doesn’t go quietly. So, who drives the transition? 🚀 Pioneers emerge first, those brave enough to experiment with new ways of thinking and doing. Without connection and support, those pioneering voices can easily be drowned out by the dominant system. THIS is why community matters. Pioneers need networks—to share, to connect, to recognise they’re not alone. 🤲🏽 Protectors, meanwhile, are those working within the current system—they nurture the new ideas, they carve out space for them to grow. But it's not only about innovation. Some fulfil the role of hospice workers for the old system—gently guiding it to a close while composting what’s worth keeping. 🌱 It’s about holding onto the best of the old, while gracefully letting the rest go. Where do you find yourself in this moment of transition? What would your role be within the Berkhana Two Loops Model? Let us know in the comments! 🌍✨ Thank you commonland for the reminder!

Hi everyone, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I wanted to invite you to our next Skill Builder session tomorrow at 12.30pm - 1pm CET— this one on Inclusive Mindset & Intercultural Competence, part of the Collaborating dimension of the IDG framework. We'll be looking honestly at where we default to our own cultural norms, whose perspectives we're not actively seeking, and what it actually takes to share power in collaboration. We meet tomorrow at 12.30 pm CET. See you there. Sarah & Nadene

Yesterday, a collective op-ed was published in The Guardian and Le Monde by NEEP’s Chair, Olivier De Schutter, and signatories Joseph Stiglitz, Jayati Ghosh, Thomas Piketty, Kate Raworth and Jason Hickel, as well as 400 other experts from around the world. In the face of deepening inequalities and global ecological disaster, leading experts agree that growth has failed to eradicate poverty or to promote wellbeing. They confirm that poverty is not inevitable. Rather, it is manufactured. Yet another way is possible. The Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty, co-developed by more than 400 contributors across academia, the UN system, trade unions, grassroots movements, and civil society, offers 80 concrete policy measures to transform the economy to ensure human and ecological wellbeing by design.
