Key questions for onboarding

This may serve to guide the reflection process when considering to join the collective

Regardless of the practicalities of any conversation to join an organisation, there are three dimensions we think are important to chew a bit on before hand.

Value Set

Holon finds its reason to be in our understanding of the current situation in the world, and the role design can have on it. You can check our ideology to get a better grasp of what we mean. To be purpose driven is something important to consider if we feel like your cup of tea.

Project based

For several reasons as an organisation we are closer to a collective of entrepreneurs than a salary giving company. A space for people with a ryhming value set and passion to show design's impact. In practical terms at the moment money is related to projects, where a team is formed around, who then share back to the collective a part. There are collective benefits applying to different membership roles, but anyone willing to be involved at this stage of the evolution of the collective needs to consider this too.

Skillset

It is important that you have some sort of understanding, and if not a willinging to be embrace, design as a change making culture. We are not fixed on which skills we need as it depends a lot on ongoing projects, so we are open to incorporate diverse competences. More importanly our understanding of what constitutes a collective is that each of us is encouraged to develop their own paths that contribute to the shared purpose and goals stated in our ideology.

If you still think is worth going forward, then get in contact at hola at holon dot cat with a couple of time slots that would work for you to have a call :)
