BCCM Host Professor Sir Julian Le Grand, Marshall Institute for Philanthropy and Social Entrepreneurship, London School of Economics
In December BCCM hosted Professor Sir Julian Le Grand on his tour to Australia. For the last two decades, Sir Julian Le Grand has advised community organisations and governments on the hybrid economy - where organisations have the goal of both profit and social purpose.
He spoke at the Governance Institute of Australia National Conference on the prospect of public service mutuals, organisations owned by their employees which deliver public services. He argues they deliver both better services as well as greater well-being for workers.
His visit attracted substantial attention and included meetings with the Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison. Check out his article in The Age as well as his interview on ABC RN.

Event - Building the Co-operative Business Model: Entrepreneurship, Ecosystem and Community Impact
BCCM co-hosted with 888 Causeway Co-working Co-operative an event on building the co-operative business model.
Over 80 people attended to hear Australia’s leading co-operative and mutual enterprise (CME) academic Tim Mazzarol, Jude Perera, Vic MP, fresh from his sojourn in the co-operative mecca of Mondragon, and Julie Markoff Miller of bHive Bendigo.
The event was a great success and has subsequently generated substantial interest in the co-operative business model. The event also saw $164.55 raised for Rumbalara Aboriginal Co-operative.
