It's been on my to-do list for some while now that I really should try to set out some of the ideas and thinking that sits behind why I got involved in the creation of Platform 6, and what I hope that it can achieve. This post is an effort to do just that.
Spurred by Mark's post setting out his thoughts on Business Development for the Greater Manchester Co-operative Commission, likewise a few weeks earlier, on June 28, I was fortunate to be invited to give evidence to the Commission on their 'Digital' theme.
Mark Simmonds of Platform 6 recently gave evidence to the Greater Manchester Co-operative Commission as they considered co-operative business development as one of their key themes.
Platform 6 members are off to Stoke in early May to meet with others looking to explore how we can combine our creativity and knowledge to plan real solutions and alternatives to our current inequitable and fast-failing economic and social system. We are proud to be a partner organisation in this fabulous and inspiring initiative.
