Organisationsentwicklung funktioniert oft nicht, weil sie zu oberflächlich arbeitet oder weil die darunterliegenden Kernelemente nicht adressiert werden. In diesem Erkundungsgespräch über die Intersektion zwischen Organisationsentwicklung und Diversität diskutieren Alícia Trepat und Joanna Egger einige der Kernelemente für den Umgang mit Wandel und Komplexität.

In this episode, Alícia interviews Hailey Cooperrider about the transformative process of Enspiral, focusing on action research and the importance of care and collective intelligence in organizational transformation.

Hailey is a game designer, workshop facilitator, and all-around collaboration geek, with a mission to take the advanced collaboration techniques used in large organisations and spread them out to the edge. One day, while playing Dungeons and Dragons, she realised that tabletop role-playing games might hold the key to realising this goal.

In 2019, she co-founded Amble Studio with four fellow adventurers to realise this big idea, and explore the borderlands between ways of working and games. This in turn led to an epic collaboration with Ben Pederick to create TAG: The Adaptation Game - a tabletop climate drill. Hailey and her fellow Amblers regularly share their serious game journey on The Amble Podcast.

This episode's guest is Michel Bachmann, global community weaver from Switzerland. His work in the social impact space began as co-founder Impact Hub Zürich, where he also led the transition of the global Impact Hub network towards a distributed organization with 100+ spaces across the world. Since then, has worked with numerous global networks to grow community and cultivate a culture of genuine co-creation for the regeneration of our planet, and co-authored a powerful Community Weaving Framework (www.community-weaving.org) as partner of Together Institute.

In this conversation, we talk about how Michel's work within the field of systems change has evolved over the last decade, the challenges of creating a community FOR community weavers, as well as his own leadership journey as a "community entrepreneur".
