Three… Two… One… TAKEOFF

Haven’t you heard yet? One10 has officially launched!

On Friday the 11th the team gathered together to celebrate and share the news with the Australian Community.

We received a visit from Philip Dalidakis, Victorian Minister for Small Business, Innovation & Trade, who candidly remarked,

Organisations like One10 have an important role in building the [startup] sector’s capacity and developing innovative and technology based solutions to these problems.

We couldn’t have put it better ourselves!

By getting behind local startups, social enterprises and not-for-profits, One10 is looking forward to working with incredible people who are inspired and driven to tackle societal issues of today.

The excitement of the day was further elevated by the announcement of our sponsorship by Ernst & Young, which has agreed to work with One10 to provide services, experience, and connections to promote and improve the skills of its community and create new relationships that will help the startups achieve their goals.

What is a Community of Practice and Why is One Critical for the Australian Social Enterprise Sector?

Communities of Practice (CoP) are groups of peers who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly (Goodhue & Seriamlu, 2021). Research suggests that learning is the main reason CoPs are established. Social learning and thinking together are key concepts in it. The collaborative learning process of ‘thinking together’ is one of the most meaningful elements of a CoP and what makes it work.

Are You an Accidental Social Enterprise?

Many business owners, boards, and stakeholders may not realise they are already operating as a social enterprise.
