       Changed the Fedica settings to crosspost to my [main Bluesky account @bmann.ca](https://bsky.bmann.ca) rather than the [@bmannconsulting.com](https://bsky.app/profile/bmannconsulting.com) account I made. I think I liked the concept of mapping my domain to it's own username (and the [FoodWiki has an account too](https://bsky.app/profile/foodwiki.bmann.ca)), but it really just is "me". The three Mastodon accounts are also a bit much 😅

       [[co-op]] structures aren't naturally networked orgs, but one of the principles is to work with and support other co-operatives, so co-ops could benefit from thinking of themselves more as part of a network.

       [[Simon Wardley]] very clearly shows [[How Organizations Are Changing]] in a 2021 survey and analysis, with many "networked" organizational styles emerging.

       Open source communities, platform ecosystems, regional collaboration, and the [[Venture Studio]] model are all examples of systems that benefit from thinking about them as networked organizations.

       Tooling and communication needs to reflect the nature of these orgs. They aren't one company or entity, they need a high measure of asynchronous communications, and ownership / permissions need to reflect organizational, working group, and other boundaries, with a variety of access permissions from fully public to network-only to group-only. Formation of groups needs to be fluid across orgs.
