Welcome!

SolAustralia is one of the longest established fractals of a global sol community (since 2000). Initially drawn together around the concepts of organizational learning espoused by Peter Senge and similar others, the solAustralia network has broadened its initial focus on organization learning to systemic learning and understanding around complex issues. Our vision is both a desire and a belief that sustainable high performance can only occur when there is focus on relationships with people and the world.

Over the years, we have become a network where leading thinkers and doers come to showcase their provocative propositions, introduce the community to new tools and processes (from conversation cafes to the ‘future backwards’ to tapping emotional intelligence) and most importantly, openly share their tools amd processes. We have also spearheaded projects tackling the difficult issues such as:

How do not for profit organizations who are reliant upon volunteers maintain their relevance and attractiveness in an era of the ageing ‘me’ generation?
How might the environmental ‘movement’ need to be different to either (a) be viewed as a relatively coherent group of activists and/or (b) potentially shift the current agenda?

Come join solAustralia because here you can:

meaningfully connect with people from diverse backgrounds, professions and passions who have a common desire to make a real contribution to enduring positive change in the world
join a global community who are open and encouraging, with little pretension and a lot of international street cred

Practical benefits include:

discounts on workshops, global and other solAustralia events (we have relationships with many other organization learning oriented networks, such as KM and presencing groups and can assist members to access these at reasonable rates)
access to peer reviews of your provocative proposition for learning and change with a well informed community
case studies and articles of interest (updated regularly on our website)

Organisations can join, too! SolAustralia has helped large complex organizations learn the facilitation tools and processes that encourage deep conversation, and strategic thinking tools for working through muddy or complex issues. And we also offer group discounts for solAustralia sponsored events and workshops.

solAustralia also has access to the sol global network centres of expertise (residing in other parts of the network such as France and the US) and we regularly update our members on news of interest from the network (see our latest newsletter)

Joining is easy, simply fill in the registration form, pay the membership fee (AUD$100), and you can start to access our membership benefits.
