SUMMARY:Mutual Value Lab “What Matters to Members” Scoping Workshop
DESCRIPTION:By invitation only | BCCM member event\nThe Mutual Value Lab (MVL) at Monash Business School is developing a new research initiative titled “What Matters to Members”\, with support from the Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals (BCCM). This study builds on the Mutual Value Framework and aims to uncover how members and customers perceive and engage with the ‘mutual value’ delivered by co-operative and mutual enterprises (CMEs). \nThis exclusive scoping workshop will bring together foundation partners to help shape the direction of the research. The session will explore key questions such as: \n\nWhat is the ‘mutual value’ provided to you by your CME?\nDoes the CME model matter to members for value creation?\nWhat customer value is distinctive for members of a CME?\nWhat products and services enable this ‘mutual value’?\nHas ‘mutual value’ incentivised you to engage more with your CME?\n\nInsights from this research will support CMEs in refining their engagement strategies and communicating the unique benefits of the ‘maverick mutual’ model to their members and customers. \nLimited places available. Please contact BCCM to express interest and confirm availability.

SUMMARY:Trebor Scholz - From Vibe to Viability: A methodology for building transformative alternatives in the digital economy
DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor Trebor Scholz\, is a leading voice in the global push for democratic digital infrastructure\, exploring how communities are building alternatives to extractive tech through cooperative experiments across 60+ countries. From AI cooperatives to community-run data centers and food delivery systems powered by 80 worker co-ops\, these are functioning systems\, not simply conjectures. \nWhen care workers in Sydney co-own the app that books their shifts\, when artists in Vancouver take back control of their images\, when Uber drivers in Denver stop renting the tools of their trade and start owning them\, when Indigenous communities in South Africa launch their own WiFi cooperative – these are not isolated acts. They’re part of a global movement to rebuild the digital economy from the ground up. \nScholz draws a line from 28 weavers in 1840s England to present-day builders reclaiming digital agency. His methodology – combining analysis\, organizing\, education\, and institution-building – has improved the lives of over a million workers\, launched the Solidarity Tech subfield\, and provided practical\, real-world alternatives. But failure is part of the story: What happens when democracy cuts into your evenings? When scaling solidarity sparks friction? When burnout hits? When people can’t agree – and you’re still hustling to make the dream real? This talk challenges you to rethink what’s possible – and help build a future that doesn’t scale like empires but lasts like communities. \nThis event is present in partnership with the Digital Ethnography Research Centre at RMIT and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society and is supported by RMIT Culture. \nRegister now
