Working at the intersection of theory and practice, the Network Leadership Series participants will learn useful tools and frameworks while collectively exploring ways to apply learned strategies in their home networks, within organizations, and with other practitioners.
The online series unfolds in weekly gatherings over 2 months, co-facilitated by Converge practitioners with diverse specialties in systems strategy, design, facilitation, education, and evaluation. Each session offers small group learning and builds depth across our core topics. During the series, you’ll receive resources, session recordings, and peer consult opportunities.
The series includes the following three modules:
- Network Mindset & Emergence - Focus on the network theory of change and how we leverage the key differences between organizations and networks to create impact.
- Network Coordination - Focus on coordination roles and how network weaving, communications framing, and project support contribute to network vitality.
- Participant Engagement - Focus on the different ways network members engage and how creating opportunities for people to connect and collaborate generates value.
