The future ain’t what it used to be: Money, currency and control.
19:00 – 21:00
YOU MUST REGISTER ON THE DAO Website here  http://bit.ly/BigAlConnollyDAOLeadership23022021   The future ain’t what it used to be: Money, currency and control. Next course starts on February 23, 2021 at a day and time Yet to be decided! Why does it seem that after so much economic growth, our system is so fragile? What are the foundations that money stands on that made it so fragile, and could they be changed? If money is just something we invented, could we invent something different? What would new economic models look like—what should you prepare for—what could you create?  In this 6 week workshop we challenge the conventional wisdom about money and currency. We look into what money really is, the rules of the game, and how the system has become so unsustainable. We investigate cryptocurrency, commons practices, and alternative economic models for a sustainable future. Although you’ll learn quite a bit, this is not a lecture where we give you answers. Instead, you’ll get a new set of questions to ask and a new set of perspectives from which to ask them. We’ll work as a group to speculate, brainstorm, work in groups, and create new ideas of how to make a transition from what we have to models of economy that better reflect the future we want for ourselves, our children, our communities and our planet. Each session will be 120 minutes and the workshops will be limited to 25 participants. . Session 1 (February 23, 2021): What is value, what is money, what is wealth? What don’t they tell you about money? Session 2 (March 2, 2021): Forms of money, extractive wealth, currency, accounting methods. How can we create accounting methods that consider “externalities”? Session 3 (March 9, 2021): Ownership and commons. What are the fundamental structures behind the failure to protect natural resources? Session 4 (March 16, 2021): Governance and control. Great ideas, but who is going to implement them? Decentralization, complexity and collective intelligence. Session 5 (March 23, 2021): Bringing these concepts together. How do we form compatible forms of collective intelligence, economy and governance? Session 6 (March 30, 2021): Where do we go from here? Going back to normal, alternatives to normal, the bridge to a new future. Costs and registration We are discussing new monetary systems, so the course is also an experiment in the gifting economy. You may pay what you like at the end, or whenever you want, or not at all (similar courses range $200-$1200). Register by filling out the form. We will send you mail and ask you to have a 15-minute interview to make sure the workshop is a good fit for you. Our intention is to accept all registrants, but we are committed to creating a psychologically safe space and sparking a creative intellectual journey, so we want to ensure that every registrant is committed to that as well.

Bookings must be made Via Eventbrite here; https://bit.ly/BACPerthBusinessSummit2020 Discover the systems you can use to productively transform your life, your business and the lives of the people you serve About this Event 2020 BUSINESS EVOLUTION SUMMIT - PERTH Discover How To Evolve your business to stay relevant in the hearts and minds of the people you choose to serve Of the 2 million-plus businesses operating in Australia 4 years ago, 2 in 5 no longer exist (39.6%). About 80%of businesses with employees will survive their first year in business. About 70%of businesses with employees will survive their second year in business. About 50%of businesses with employees will survive their fifth year in business. About 30%of businesses will survive their 10th year in business.  WHY? They lost relevance because they didn't evolve. And now, since COVID-19 came on the scene... 63% of small businesses report being negatively impacted by COVID-19 12% say they are considering cutting costs through staff layoffs 41% have experienced a 50% or more decline in revenue in the past 1-2 months 49% report maintaining adequate cash flow as a concern 37% saying working out how long they can remain viable is a major concern 32% report the health of their employees as a concern 21% are concerned about ensuring their staff have work Are you running your businesses in a reactionary way? Are you feeling forced to implement changes because the market demands it in order to survive? Would you like to learn a system to evolve your business so that it is a market leader? Evolution should be the natural state of all businesses. Business is a series of evolutions. What is the next evolution of your business? We are in the most uncertain of times. This is the best time because there is no opportunity in predictability, but there is plenty in uncertainty.  The BUSINESS EVOLUTION SUMMIT is an intense leadership focused one-day event designed specifically for business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs who recognise the need to evolve themselves so they can evolve their businesses to stay relevant in the hearts and minds of the people they choose to serve.  WHY?  The reason businesses go broke or fade into the sunset is because they continue to grow, but they don't evolve. We can't solve tomorrow's problems with today's thinking. Change is happening at a frightening pace, and if you don't like change, you are going to like irrelevance even less. Businesses risk becoming irrelevant to their customers. They aren't evolving. The four drivers of business evolution are: technology  the market consumer behaviour disruptive newcomers (or pandemics!) These drivers aren't going away anytime soon. This makes the need for evolution mission-critical. Evolution is a process. The world turns fast these days, and in business, we are continually faced with changing landscapes. This presents us with challenges and opportunities to keep our business up to date and relevant. BUSINESS EVOLUTION SUMMIT is designed to remove the frustration and complexity you have ever had in: Alignment of culture and strategy Developing clear goals and expectations Creating a system of accountability Developing leadership strength and depth Developing a consistent sales system If you feel your business has ever had these challenges, then the BUSINESS EVOLUTION SUMMIT is definitely for you! Here you will Discover The Systems You Can Use To Productively Transform Your Life, Your Business and The Lives Of The People You Serve.  Join us and the other (up to 50 attendees) business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs like you at Ambrose Estate in Wembley Downs on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2020 for one epic day of evolution!  Bookings must be made Via Eventbrite here; https://bit.ly/BACPerthBusinessSummit2020 WHAT WE WILL COVER: Create a culture & strategy alignment (Define direction) Build a culture & brand relationship (Help people fall in love with your business) Bust the "Execution is hard" myth (Track and map with accountability) Learn the 4 quadrants of the programming that creates self-sabotage.

EShip Cafe: The Meetup for Community-Led Development - Hosted by Y.hub
Y.hub Coworking
09:30 – 11:00
Hello, EShip Community It is time again for another of our monthly meetups that focus on Economic Sustainability through Community-Led Development. Entrepreneurship (EShip) is both the study of how new businesses are created as well as the actual process of starting a new business - the term is used interchangeably Economic Sustainability Policymakers often report that small business is the employment engine of the economy. New and emerging companies are the primary sources of job creation. Not only that, but these firms also contribute to economic dynamism and community empowerment by injecting competition into markets, spurring local innovation and sustainability. Community-Led Development Fostering an environment where people connect through common interests and work together to overcome challenges is a major factor in developing general wellbeing and good governance within a community. Good governance guides are an essential part of every Local Government Authority and are an integral part of the policy framework within which local authorities work and deliver services to the communities that they represent and serve. Connect too likeminded people in your Local Government Authority (Council)  This is a relaxed networking event for people with ideas, seeking community validation. Each participant has a chance to network, introducing themselves and their ideas or projects to the other attendees. Look forward to seeing you there...... Want to learn more?
