Make more difference in the world
BUT NOT at the cost of your business…

20+ years of sustainability innovation has brought a broad smorgasbord of profitable regenerative business solutions to market.

New business opportunities – and whole new industries – are opening up rapidly. Some traditional businesses are about to go the way of video hire stores.

The range of opportunities to do better business BY making a better world is growing rapidly.

Historically, the focus on “fixing things” has been on big business and big government. That top-down assumption is a smokescreen.

A smorgasbord of SME opportunity

That smokescreen has hidden a whole world of opportunities (and some significant threats) from SME business operators.

To adapt to a rapidly changing world, you need to:

  • Know what the key trends are
  • Understand how those trends translate into threats and opportunities
  • Develop plans to respond strategically, avoiding threats and leveraging opportunities

We have developed a robust, interactive strategic planning workshop specifically designed for SMEs – so you can improve your business AND increase your impact.

This isn’t a “course” where you “learn new ideas”. This is a 2-week workshop – one where we support you to build an implementable and measurable strategic plan for you business.

Our goal is to enable your business to get a piece of a fundamental shift that solutions experts are now calling:

“the biggest business opportunity in human history”

What IS Regenerative Business?

Regenerative Business is business intentionally designed to “do well BY doing good” – to make good profits from delivering valuable products and services that regenerate the ecosystems and communities they operate within. They plan and act to make the world better (not just “less worse”).

Regenerative business strategies shift “the environment” from compliance and obligation to impact, achievement and bottom line results.

Regenerative Business results accelerate with effective Strategic Planning

Good doesn’t happen by accident. It may start with curiosity, passion or frustration – but results happen when you set an intention, unleash your team and make strategic plans to turn your intention into action.

You don’t need to understand the internal combustion engine to drive a car, but knowing the road rules and what the instrument panel is telling you isn’t rocket science.

There’s a massive amount of information and truck loads of environmental “shoulds” out there – but the core principles of regenerative business strategy are straightforward. The specifics vary from industry to industry across the supply chain – but knowing what the key trends are and how to spot key threats and opportunities isn’t rocket science.

What the program will cover

In this unique program, we combine a proven, SME-centred strategic planning process with straightforward regenerative business principles and processes.

That means you don’t just “learn about” regenerative business – you also integrate it into your business purpose and update your business vision, goals, brand and strategy as well.

When you complete this program, you will be able to:

  • Apply 10 straightforward regenerative business principles to your business and your business environment.
  • Identify key trends and understand the threats and opportunities that apply to your business
  • Create and update a strategic plan for your business that you can use to increase your impact and your bottom line.
