Over the next several months, WISIR will be running an emergent incubation process that needs your participation and commitment! The incubation process happens in phases, with each phase’s design emerging from the results of the earlier phases. A phase’s duration should last about a month. After each phase, WISIR will identify and actively promote ‘exit ramps’ for an independent, self-sufficient organization. Incubation success means exit from WISIR's oversight and WISIR becoming one of many active members.
What does participation look like?
Every phase may be different, so WISIR will call for participants for each phase through its mailing list. Participants can join any and all phases depending on their interest and bandwidth. Each phase should only require a minimum 1-2 hours a month of participants’ time, with additional hours for those positioned to take on more engagement, leadership, or in-kind contributions to incubation efforts.
What does the first phase look like?
WISIR is collecting sign-ups for the first phase of incubation. Once sign-ups are closed, we will sort participants into pairs based on their background and interests. We will then connect them with their partner, provide a one-hour activity template, and the pairs will commit to meeting together and filling out their activity template before the deadline. This process will be a highly curated experience that will have the spillover benefit of allowing for deepening connections and enhancing collaborative potential within and across the former L3 community.
Who should participate?
You should participate in the incubation process if you or your organization is invested in the success of the social acquisition movement in Canada.
Can there be more than one incubation participant per organization?
Absolutely! We welcome as many participants as possible! Note however that each participant is expected to participate fully in whichever phase they sign up for (ie: participation should not be split up or shared between people within an organization, but each participant should contribute fully to the incubation work.
How can I participate?
