Why attend this regenerative design principles seminar?
For many people, the current system is not delivering desirable results. Life may be OK, but there’s a feeling something is not right, even if they can’t put their finger on it.
Our current economic, business, and agricultural systems are built on extracting value from capital, labour, resources, and the environment and it’s running out of runway. This is rapacious and reinforcing as people are trapped in a system that no longer serves them.
The consequences may show up as unhappiness, disengagement, and lack of fulfilment. We have become net consumers, increasingly separated from the natural world, propped up by debt, while inflation and prices remain high, currency falls in value, energy becomes more scarce, and resource-motivated geopolitical instability once again threatens peace. Our health is in decline, education and social services are failing our most vulnerable people, and many businesses fail to thrive due to ‘difficult trading conditions’. Mere hyperbole, pessimism, or a realistic assessment of our emerging predicament; inevitable outcomes created by a set of conditions we created.
We need a dramatic system redesign and this is where Regenerative Design Principles (RDP) can help. There are 6 RDPs:
1. Holism: whole is greater than the sum of its parts
2. Mutualism: inherent value and dependence on each other
3. Uniqueness: every part is unique
4. Evolutionary: contextually relevant and adaptable
5. Nodal: control is decentralised and distributed
6. Developmental: allows for the growth and health of members
These principles can be used as a lens in the (re)design of all systems from smaller family entities and organisations, to workplaces and businesses, and to larger scale economic and political systems. Every interaction we have in life is moderated through a system. That system lies on a continuum between regenerative (unaltered natural ecosystem) and totally extractive and degenerative.
This seminar will introduce you to the RDPs and show you how you can use them as a lens to redesign the systems you care about in a way that serves the outcomes you want to create.
In being part of this process of regenerative redesign, each of us contributes a little bit to the whole in the creation of a better world. We don’t need to fix the big problems. We need to redesign our systems to create better outcomes. Come and join us and discover how you can make your difference.
Plus an opportunity to dive deeper
For people and organisations that would like a more immersive program tailored to their specific organisational needs, we are taking bookings for a limited number (2 only) of half-day workshops in each location to jump start the regenerative redesign process.
What you will discover by scheduling a tailored Workshop for your organisation
• An online assessment of your (organisations) regenerative health prior to the meeting so discussions are more relevant to your business and context
• Introduction and further expansion of the Regenerative Design Principles within your context
• The Regenerative Framework and how it creates conditions for health within your organisation that lead to the outcomes you desire.
• A step-by-step plan to build the Regenerative Framework into your business as a regenerative design, planning and management tool.
• The opportunity for ongoing support to embed lasting success into the program.
Expressions of interest for private workshops are open for organisations on the shift towards a regenerative organisation. Register your interest in booking a workshop here.
