Meshworking is one of the core products of the CHE. It's something we had a name for a while ago, but only started discovering what it really is last year. In this salon, we want to share both our deepest understanding of this approach and the questions we are now playing with.
In essence, meshworking is about bringing a variety of stakeholders together for a common goal in such a way that real progress can be made on the complex issues we face today. This means that – unlike in a network in which the connections between the partners are focused on their own interests – each partner's own interests are placed within the context of the common interest.
In a meshwork, ample attention is therefore paid to the unique qualities of each of the partners and the way in which these can come to life even better in the connection with the others. In-depth conversations reveal the relationship between the driving motivations and interests of each of the partners and the common goal.
The openness of the conversation, the recognition of one's own interests and the commitment to the common goal ensure that a community is created. This means that partners in a meshwork can achieve much more together than each of the partners individually.
Anne-Marie Voorhoeve fulfills the role of Strategic Connector at the CHE. Together with a number of others from the CHE, she has worked with this approach in the Meshwork for Mothercare, in which the United Nations Millennium Goal 5, i.e. drastically reducing maternal mortality, was shaped with twenty partners.
Peter Merry, founder and chairman of the CHE, is now applying the underlying principles of meshworking in the design of the State of the World Forum and its Global Transition Initiative.
