Composable Participation Primitives
What it is
A process-oriented approach to accounting for organisational development.
We combine experiential learning programs with digital participation tooling to organise events which evidence how organisational changes unlock new capabilities.
We let the organising process become the accounting substrate through which to finance self-organising at network scale.
How it worksFor organisers
When to use
Multiple stakeholders. When multiple stakeholders need to learn from the same intervention.
Alignment. When multiple levels of a system need to act with one intention, from within an emergent process.
Provenance. When local actors need to engage non-local partners without losing ownership or reverse-engineering their narrative.
See stakeholder archetypes- Capital PartnersTechnology providers, institutions, funders, and agencies.
When you want to commit to long-term transition initiatives, without having to continually reallocate capital as conditions change.
- NetworksHub coordinators, coalitions, federations, and communities of learning with local anchors.
When you need to represent a diversity of environments and coordinate resources whilst ensuring local autonomy.
- HubsCommunity centres, live-in DAOs, regional nodes, residency hosts, and hackerspaces.
When you want to own the means by which your work is evaluated and write your own evaluation logic, using your own infrastrucutre.
Where this comes from
Prisma's earlier influences were the dMRV landscape from 2021-22. By standing on the shoulders of giants such as Regen Network and Open Forest Protocol, we began to ask what might come next.
But the purpose of Prisma - to create the means for participating in alternate ways of organising - was only clear after spending time seeing in terms of the intersection of regenerative design, flow-centric digital currencies and culture hacking.
