Sustainable Teams: Connecting Voices of Change

My particular interest is to explore the role social media can play in initiating and sustaining collective action to foster social change and overcome problems such as climate change and poverty.

Through SustainableTeams, I support organizations to improve their social and environmental impact by building networks and partnerships dedicated to sustainable change.

With 5 colleagues from Germany, the UK, Canada and the US, I co-founded Radical Inclusion in May 2009. Specializing in virtual collaboration, we adapt traditional collaborative change tools and facilitation techniques to help the groups and organizations we support, make more out of conferences, improve teamwork and strengthen their networks.

Prior to working on SustainableTeams and Radical Inclusion, I coordinated and helped shape several organizational networks and communities of practice, including the CGIAR Systemwide Program on Collective Action and Property Rights, the Livelihood Support Programme of the Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Land Coalition, and the International Association for the Study of the Commons.
