An organising impulse that social groups form around, begins with a seed of potential. To work on this potential is this group's purpose that calls them in to the organising activity. By answering this call, they together form a collective body that springs to life in response. This purpose is the first mandate item.

Mandate

The following list outlines a mandate by which the social group self-identifies:

  1. Purpose
  2. Accountabilities
    1. Roles - the entity taking responsibility for the accountabilities, who can also delegate
    2. E.g. Tooling
  3. Domains
  4. Vision & Mission
    1. Vision: an image, enlivening
    2. Mission: milestones and outcomes
  5. Principles & Values (plus ways of working)

The most effective organising happens when coordination is shared.
