Who We Are Looking For

We are seeking leaders to be “Openers-in-Residence.” We intend to bring on 6-12 “Openers-in-Residence” who are leading open system work in the field in their organizations, in local communities and who will shape the future of open system work. These are leaders who are already conducting highly effective co-creation and co-production across contexts, build knowledge alongside other leaders and lead the field into new opportunities to move beyond closed system behavior.


Commitment to Co-Creation

Co-Creation and Co-Production are at the heart of open system work and also the residency. As we launch the residency, we will be asking residents to commit 2 hours in June (June 23) and 2 hours in July (June 28th) to help us design and build the residency.

Residents will co-create their own portfolio across our institute priorities:

  • Knowledge Generation

  • Field Support

  • Convening


Apply by June 4th

Please apply by June 4th - we intend to notify selected residents by June 14th.
