Percolab Coop

Who we are

Percolab exists to grow conscious and collaborative ecosystems and organisations to embody the changes needed for a socio-ecological transformation.

We use the daily operation of our cooperative as a living lab to actively prototype new ways of working.

Our client work is brave and emergent. Our partnerships are creative playing fields. One step after another, we function as a do-think space getting sharper at working with complexity.

We are intentional about embodying our core values:

• Equitable world. Percolab has shared ownership via a worker owned cooperative model. We are a not-for-profit social enterprise engaged in the international cooperative movement.
• Inclusion. Percolab functions with a shared leadership model supporting full personal leadership and shared power.
• Diversity. Percolab works with multiple worldviews and ways of knowing, both Western and non-Western.
• Peace. Our shared culture is built on authentic relationships and circle practice to work with divergent perspectives.
• Life and learning. Percolab experiments continuously, based on tensions, noticings and dreams.

Percolab began in Canada in 2007 and is growing across the world - with individually governed organisations in Australia, France and Vietnam. As Campfire Coop, we have been working with communities and organisations using co-creation processes and participatory leadership practices since 2017. In 2024 we became Percolab Coop in Australia.

What we do

We develop and share new ways of working, governing and learning, in the spirit of the commons and in service of a sustainable and peaceful future. Alongside healthy practices for collaboration, we bring in thoughtful structure and process to be able to ride the wave of collective intelligence.

We offer:

• Multi-stakeholder co-creation
• Event planning and facilitation
• Public consultation
• Organisational development
• Training and capacity building
