We at the Hub have identified 4 main root causes of low group capacity.
_(1).png)
Culture-related [1] problems that might reduce group capacity, and some approaches to solving them, might include...
Example
"In a group of 'X' people, each person should speak no more than 'X%' of the time."
Consult this resource created by activist Daniel Hunter on how to build a resilient culture in our activist group as well as the one from the Transition Network on the notion of balance versus exhaustion.
A care web is a system in which people support each other through reciprocity. They differ from charitable care models in which people with disabilities only receive passive care.
Webs are best monitored by the needs and wants of team members to ensure that their needs are adequately addressed. Read more about care webs here.
What are the reasons why the members initially got involved?
What were they looking for in this group?
Compare your answers to the mission statement, vision, values, etc. of your group.
Strategy-related [2] problems that might reduce group capacity, and some approaches to solving them, might include...
See elements of group strategy, systems mapping and theory of change for more.
Structure-related factors that might reduce group capacity, and some approaches to solving them, might include...
See the ladder of engagement for more.
A Buddy system applies older members as mentors to help newer members understand the movement. Read more about the bottleneck effect from momentum here.
Read more about delegating tasks here.
