The Formula for Co-operation

Co-operation is back in vogue. The principles developed by the Rochdale Pioneers in the UK over 166 years ago, are now the foundation for a global economy supporting half of the world’s population , a co-operative sector in the UK to which one in five of us belong and the government’s new coalition leadership.
To mark the beginning of Co-operatives Fortnight, the UK’s first ’formula for co-operation’, launched on Saturday, 20 June 2010 at Westminster Central Hall in Central London, reveals the attributes and qualities needed by those organisations, businesses and governments who seek to harness the potential of co-operation in business and economic life.
The formula for co-operation has been developed by leading Innovations Specialist Ian McDermott from International Teaching Seminars and Jason Miller of Tinder-Box business coaching to mark Co-operatives Fortnight 2010 (19 June – 3 July 2010).
