Danke für die Vorlage Benjamin Adrion! Das nehmen wir doch gerade mit auf! 💧 Falls ihr euch schon mal gefragt habt: "Wie funktioniert das eigentlich alles im Viva con Agua Kosmos?" Dann hat Benny das hier einmal genauer erklärt. Vieles im Kosmos ist einfach über die Jahre gewachsen, wie ein Organismus. Am Ende steht über allem immer die ganz klare Vision: Wasser für alle. Alle für Wasser!💧
It’s the Ecosystem, stupid! People often ask me: What is this Viva con Agua thing? Let me give you an update of what this Viva con Agua phenomenon actually is - focusing on the current organisational set-up. BOTTOM LINE: It is an international ECOSYSTEM which developed organically as a result of grassroots growth - based on a clear VISION “WATER for ALL + ALL for WATER” and a clear CULTURE around CONNECTION and JOY. Since it had developed over time quite a lot, there is the challenge that it might seem complex at first. Yet this complexity is exactly how it is supposed to be. In this case complex is not necessarily bad or anything strange, since it is not designed to hide stuff or confuse people. The complex structure is rather consciously designed and it does exist for many good reasons after all. It changes its forms constantly and follows the flow of what is needed to operate effectively, while we always keep an eye on the potential opportunities showing up on our way. 🌱 Our organic ecosystem is complex because it is NOT a MACHINE but an ORGANISM. Organisms are not simple - they LIVE, they BREATHE, they GROW. Few ADVANTAGES of our living structure: 💧 SHARED LEADERSHIP: It is not one big centralised ruler or owner who rules the world of Viva 💧DECENTRALISED DECISION MAKING: People can make decisions about their own project, business unit or entity 💧STRONG CORE: Everything follows one vision and one culture, that is how we can organise free expression and still keep the same taste in whatever we do 💧RESILIENCE: In this VUCA world we are more resilient to disruptive developments than one single organisation 💧ADAPTATION: We can adapt to change and be flexible in our structures like water 💧NON PROFIT LEADS: The outmost of all entities are non profit / charitable organisations, even the few Social Business entities are run by the NGO’s 💧ORGANIC ECOSYSTEM: Our organisational framework is not like a machine, but it is alive and growing organically At the end - no matter where we are, what we do or however it might look like. We are WATER! Be Water with us..
