In this course, we’ll explore how cooperatives drive economic empowerment, social impact, and operational resilience—then dive into real-world examples where companies have supported cooperative models. You’ll examine Berta Juice’s farmer cooperatives transforming organic supply chains, Now Organic’s packaging collectives in Nigeria, and Fortis Lifestyle & Hospitality’s worker co-ops at Whispering Palms Resort, all powered by member communication and engagement via our QOOP platform. nNext, we’ll unpack cooperative principles and legal structures, financial management in QOOP (accounting, credit, and payments), and essential KPIs for cooperative growth and impact. You’ll learn scaling frameworks, replication toolkits, SOPs, and strategic advisory methods to deploy and optimize cooperative partnerships across Lucidus Fortis, QOOP, Berta Juice, Now Organic, Fortis Lifestyle & Hospitality, and beyond. By course end, you’ll be ready to advise, implement, or optimize cooperative initiatives that foster collective ownership and sustainable development across our ecosystem.
