The EOA will be facilitating a series of high-level Conversations between our members over the coming months. The purpose of these conversations is to connect small groups of EO members through providing an opportunity to share insights, knowledge and both short and longer term challenges with your peers.  

This can be either be sector-sector, peer-peer or it may be an issue which members wish to collaborate in addressing a common challenge.  For example, members may agree to collaborate on addressing a common challenge, which provides intelligence to influence policy makers that there is a groundswell of businesses demanding change.  

The conversations are led by members, who chair the session and set the agenda, and give people of similar interests a chance to network and share intelligence – emulating a digital roundtable for 90 minutes.  

The conversations will take place under Chatham House rules, but a summary of the conversation will be produced and shared on the EO Hub.  The notes will not be attributed to any individual or organisation.  

If there are any topics or challenges you would be interested in having a conversation about, please contact anne.richardson@employeeownership.co.uk with your ideas. 

This conversation on 23rd of July will bring together leaders of public service mutuals to discuss the role of employee consultation in forming the new workplace, and the role of mutual organisations in the economy. 

If you are interested in taking part in this or any future conversations, please contact oliver.smith@employeeownership.co.uk, placements are however limited and cannot be guaranteed.
