The New Future Process
CNVC is engaged in a multi-year project to create a new global NVC organisation.
Members of the global NVC community have been invited to rethink, from the ground up, how we will organise ourselves

1. Process Design
2. Synanim Process of Gathering
feedback from the global community

Emerging now from the New Future Process
On behalf of the Integration Council, June 2016
We celebrate
The Integration Council integrated the products of the various workgroups resulting in an
Integrated Plan
to be offered to the Community for feedback.
Additionally, an Implementation Council has been sociocratically elected...
and a Transition Team has formed
The Integration Council agreed on a structure to enable the Vision of our Community and Organization.
Core Values
Connection to Purpose
Growing Capacity
Aliveness/Wholeness
Effectiveness
Our Hope
We want the organisation
at the heart of the NVC movement to reflect and be a living laboratory for the full radical potential
of the paradigm implicit in Nonviolent Communication
We are choosing to create
a structure that aims to embody, in full, the structural assumption of the interdependence of all things.
The plan begins at the most inclusive level:
the Netweb
The overall structure of the NVC Community and Organisation, serving all who are connected to Nonviolent Communication
-
The Netweb structure has two primary elements within it
The Community The Organisation
The Netweb
This Netweb is created by connecting all the different points within it together
The Shared Vision of our Community and Organisation
We envision a world
where systems, cultures and individuals support the wellbeing and empowerment of all people,
with care for past, present, and future life.
Hundreds of Thousands of people enjoy a more wonderful life because of Marshall’s gift of
Nonviolent Communication.
Together, we form the Community
The entire collection of individuals that are
coming together within the Netweb.
The Purpose of our Community
Our Purpose is
to be a network that lives and radiates interdependence and compassion.
Our Community shares
a Virtual Home and Vision with the Organisation and offers its own purpose and mission
to all members
The Mission of our Community
We are an informal community spread across the world, dedicated to supporting Members of our Community and individuals and organisations beyond that Community in creating a world that works for all. We...
CONNECT: by actively reaching out to individuals and organisations and supporting them to learn and integrate NVC principles and practices;
SUPPORT: each other through empathic presence, authenticity and connection;
DEVELOP: principles and invent practices through hands-on work in different contexts and cultures that contribute to the creation of a world that works for all;.
MODEL: Nonviolent Communication principles and practices as individuals, in our interactions with others, and in the groups and organisations that we work in and with;
INSPIRE: others to consider looking at NVC principles and practices as a tool that could enrich their lives;
INITIATE: and organise events that nourish, celebrate and expand our Community;
PROVIDE: input for the Organisation by harvesting the wisdom and knowledge generated within the Community.
Each person in our Community is like a cell, an integral and necessary
part of the whole,
the Netweb
Individuals become Members of our Community because: -they are inspired by our shared Vision;
-they are inspired by and long to learn and integrate the values, behavior and communication styles identified by our Organisation as being in alignment with our shared Vision.
Members of our Community can choose to become part of our Organisation
by becoming a Partner
Our Partners
The Partners make up
“the Organisation”.
As a placeholder, in this document we will refer to the organisation as NVC-O
The new structure organises the global NVC network in a different way that retains the existing functions and organisational forms of the community
while creating a formal and stronger tie between the Community and Organisation.
NVC-O
A formal entity registered outside the US (possibly in multiple locations including the US) featuring:
an unlimited number of Partners. self-selected based on rigorous criteria of contribution and service
a shared vision
a clear purpose and mission agreements to function in certain ways a virtual home

The Purpose of Our Organisation
We dedicate ourselves to the well being and empowerment of all by applying and sharing Nonviolent Communication principles and practices with individuals and within systems and cultures.
Our structure is like a fabric woven from many strands of fiber. Each point or node in the Netweb is called a Weave.
Weave
the smallest unit of self-organiszing within the Netweb, composed of up to 12 individuals.
Types of Weaves
Community
form when at least 2 Members come
together with a shared purpose
may come together based on geographic location, common interest, function, focus, or project
Oranisational
Community Weaves come together for a variety of purposes, including:
-supporting each other’s learning, growth, healing, and transformation (e.g. practice groups) -sharing NVC with others (e.g. DACH or BayNVC)
There is no expectation or any explicit agreement or commitment to contribute to the Organisation; it is only individual Community Weaves who choose for themselves if there are ways they want to contribute.
Community Weaves are encouraged to have a minimum of 1/12 of those participating be Partners as a way to maintain a close link with NVC-O for the purpose of supporting (global) connection and coordination;
Links between Partners involved with Community Weaves also support:
• more effective and informed contribution;
• mutual learning and support;
• flow of information back to NVC-O about what
is happening in our Community and the ideas and activities that are flourishing there.
The knowledge and experience gathered in the our Community feeds back into NVC-O through the Weave structure.
Community Organisation Leadership
and feeds back to the Community in mutual education
Community Organisation Leadership
Cluster
A structural unit within NVC-O organizing weaves into nine primary groups
Nine Theme Clusters
Community Interface
NVC Evolution and Innovation Projects
Applications Creating Access
Organisational Process Resources
Maintenance
External Communications
The Global Council
is the convergence point where weaves come together
The Global Council has specific coordination and initiation functions
Composed of 12 Partners
1 from each Cluster (9)
A Global Council Holder plus an Internal Leader and an elected Community Member
Global Council Leaders
Internal Leader: A person selected by the Global Council to tend to carefully defined functions of leadership including:
building relationships within NVC-O; integrity of our work;
the overall function of the organisation.
Global Council Holder supports the functioning of the Council by
• attending to internal issues
• track and monitor process and tasks
• offer leadership, feedback and conflict resolution as needed within the Global Council
Elected Community Member
• • •
Virtual Home
Our state of the art online virtual home open 24/7/365
Connection is the life blood of our shared vision
Operational Agreement
An agreed-upon way of doing things
(the equivalent of “policy” in the new structure) such as for Organisational Weaves to divide when they reach the number 12 so as to preserve effective action and decision-making.
Operational Agreements may apply throughout
the organisation or only in parts of NVC-O
Putting the pieces together...
The Partners organise in the service of the Community and the world.
The Community feeds the Organisation with support, ideas, knowledge and experience- a realization of our interdependence.
Our Shared Vision:
We envision a world where systems, cultures and individuals support the wellbeing and empowerment of all people, with care for past, present, and future life.
NVC-O Purpose:
We dedicate ourselves to the well being and empowerment of all by applying and sharing Nonviolent Communication principles and practices with individuals and within systems and cultures.
The Mission of Our Organisation
As a global organisation, we seek to actively serve and support our Community and to reach out to the world to advocate for the transformative power of NVC principles and practices. We:
SUPPORT: the transition to collaborative systems and practices at all levels of society;
CONNECT: all who are inspired to learn, integrate, share and apply Nonviolent Communication;
ACTIVATE: conditions that enable knowledge and activities throughout the Community to become of service to the whole;
PROVIDE: platforms, resources and materials;
MODEL: NVC and collaborative principles and practices as individuals and throughout the organisation;
EVOLVE: our capabilities and understanding of NVC through research and experimentation;
INITIATE: and implement collaborative and mutually supportive projects in partnership with members of the Community and the world at large; INSPIRE: and link with other communities and organizations who share a compatible vision.
Offered by the Purpose Work Group, consented Dec 14, 2015
A few specific aspects of the Integrated Plan
Two ways of joining
• 1) as a Member of the NVC-O Community, which provides access to all resources on our new virtual home and an opportunity to belong to a larger whole with a purpose related to increasing the role of NVC in the world.
2) as a Partner in NVC-O, which, in addition, entails a commitment to service in support of the NVC-O Community and in support of the world. Partners participate in decision-making:
• individually through the advice process as it relates to their own work;
• as part of groups reaching collaborative decisions as needed;
• through direct or indirect selection of people to serve on the Global Council.
•
Community
There are two main changes here.
1) The NVC-O Community is likely to now have more of a sense of being a whole, having its own Vision, Purpose, and Mission and a structure that allows a formal and specific connection with NVC-O.
2) Members will have more capacity to find and relate to each other.
Changes Regarding Certification
• Recognized roles are no longer just limited to “CNVC certified trainer.” Instead, they include “NVC Practitioner” and “NVC Ambassador” in a variety of fields.
• Recognized Roles are determined based on self-reflection and feedback from Recognized Roles Weave members rather than feedback from a sole assessor.
• Weaves co-create systems that support on- going growth, learning, and feedback.
• Power and privilege training and awareness is part of the path to Recognized Roles.
Changes Regarding Training (IITs and other Learning Events)
• NVC-O sponsors International Intensive Trainings, Facilitated Learning Gatherings and Self-Organized NVC Gatherings.
• Learnings from all events are carefully harvested and considered when preparing new events.
• Lots of care and consideration given to reinventing IITs so that they fully adapt to local cultures and values.
• Greater variety of “official” offerings that support more collaboration, adapt to more learning styles, and allow for more contribution
• Ongoing feedback and evolution are integral to the process
• NVC is made more relevant to multiple cultures and contexts
Social Change and Peacebuilding
Training Exchange
Allies
Sharing Projects
Consciousness
Funding Exchange
Featured Projects
Open Forum
Creating Access
• A major explicit commitment to creating access and to attending to issues of power, privilege, and resource disparity.
• Specific operational agreements are included in this plan so as to ensure that the commitment is anchored structurally.
• Mechanisms are built-in for training and learning in this area to become more integrated through the Recognized Roles system.
Resources
• Resources flow in multiple directions
• Full transparency of resource generation and
allocation within NVC-O
• Possibility for Partners to participate in decisions
related to resources
• Projects can operate without waiting for a central
authority to fund them
•
•
