Values and value chains - London
Event
Join Outlandish and adviser Douglas Racionzer for a workshop to better understand the values and planning tools that cooperatives support.
This workshop is part of the Co-operative Islington project and funded by Islington Council.
Co-operatives uphold a set of values about the economy and these values work best when they are practised through the cooperative’s buying and selling activities. This course will introduce participants to the planning tools that can be used to deliberately align a cooperative’s values with how it buys supplies and sells services and products.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this course participants will:
- Understand the values that cooperatives support
- Have developed a plan to align the values of the co-operative to its purchasing and procurement processes
- Have tools to deliberately use values as a marketing and sales strategy
