TRANSFORMATION | STRATEGIZE . INNOVATE . LEAD .
We specialize in helping exec teams and entrepreneurs through the process of disruptive transformation. We do this using our bio.t METHOD, based on Nature’s design thinking playbook.
we believe strategy connected to the science of life unlocks unparalleled growth opportunity. We believe innovation that leverages Nature’s 3.8 billion years of R&D is the key. And we believe the blueprint for adaptive leadership lies with living intelligence, hidden in plain sight. We’re out to showcase what’s possible.
welcome to the bright side
beyond human centered design, to life centered design. beyond artificial intelligence, to living intelligence.
high performance. high efficiency. low energy. low cost. high scalability. high growth potential. (the risk only sits on the balance sheets and P&Ls of 20th century business models too slow to change).

TECH CONVERGENCE
“While AI dominates headlines, biology is converging with exponential technologies to unlock unprecedented value. It will revolutionize every market in the next 5-10 years” - Singularity University 2025
LIVING INTELLIGENCE
“Living intelligence will drive an exponential cycle of innovation; an accelerant for technologies. For some, this will unlock unprecedented opportunities. For others, it will trigger overwhelming disorientation. The gap between leaders and laggards will widen dramatically, not over decades, but months.” - Future Today Strategy Group 2025
AGE OF BIOLOGY
“The 21st century will be the century of biology. The solutions to the biggest challenges we face are all deeply rooted in our understanding of life” - Craig Venter, genomics pioneer
-
Life centered design does a 180° flip on human-centered design thinking. The lens is more living systems than linear markets. The tech language is more biological atoms than binary bits. And the leverage points are based more off the physical laws of Nature than the laws of game theory.
The more you answer YES to the following, the more likely you are to be holding back your potential - and carrying a ton of risk:
Your approach to INNOVATION is "faster, better, cheaper, newer".
Your approach to STRATEGY is unfair competitive advantage.
Your approach to ADAPTATION is Agile.
Your approach to TRANSFORMATION is digitization (or restructuring lol).
Your conversation about DISRUPTIVE TECH FUTURES is based around large language tools.
Your approach to NATURE POSITIVE is compliance disclosures, biodiversity credits, or TNFD tick boxes.
Your approach to LEVERAGE hinges off extraction, exploitation, data scraping, restricted access, price arbitrage, borrowing, or zero sum plays.
The #1 barrier that stops many people playing the bigger game is the ability to sense, seize, and scale value potential (called “dynamic capabilities”).
In our Age of Biology, value potential is biological. Living systems and the lived experience. Update your design thinking practice.
-
Most organizations are playing a Nature game driven by TNFD and SBTN governance disclosures. Focused on their footprint and emissions, with a compliance cost mindset.
But it kinda misses the point.
As global markets rapidly price in the costs of Nature, if you haven’t connected our strategy to the science of life, then the disruptive impact on your balance sheets and P&Ls will be big.
The ‘natural capital’ bubble is 3x LARGER than the CO2 bubble (Stuchtey et al 2016).
But the bigger risk is we miss seeing the opportunity.
Right now a rapidly emerging global movement of disruptors, strategists, futurists, innovators, researchers, and design thinkers are starting to play a bigger Nature game.
-
The new, bigger Nature game is all about learning from Nature. To leverage Nature’s 3.8 billion years of evolutionary R&D intelligence.
WHY? BECAUSE…
Nature’s design thinking is not just regenerative, it plays at the highest order of functionality. High performance. High efficiency. High tech. Low cost. Low energy. High scalability. High growth potential.
Nature’s design thinking applies directly to business strategy, innovation and business model design, using hardcoding that’s proven to be robust enough to underwrite the very foundations of life.
Nature’s playbook lets you leverage the blueprints and working models that have been tried, tested and proven to work, for a really long time.
Nature’s playbook is hardwired for disruption, and to regenerate after disruption
Nature’s playbook can be used by anyone, in any industry, of any size, and in any leadership team.
Cutting-edge businesses playing this new game are re/designing and re/engineering anything from products, services and platforms to business models, value chains and operations, to ways of working as high performing teams.
They’re not just transforming themselves, they’re disrupting the shape of global markets, global industries, and the rules of the global economy.
WEF estimates it could create US$10 trillion in GDP growth and 395 million new jobs by 2030.
We think this undersells it. Research show there is a 88%+ innovation gap between how biology designs and how humans design (Vincent and Mann 2011).
We are only at the beginning of our disruptive evolutionary journey.
-
We guide you on the transformation journey to re/design your business model, strategy and innovations. No matter where you are right now.
We work with you in three ways: 1. Diagnostics. 2. Strategic transformation, and 3. Transformational leadership.
We give you the thinking models, tech tools and practice steps. And showcase what’s possible.
WHY WE LOVE THIS GAME
Because the rewards are big.
Because it applies to any business, across any sector, doing strategy or innovation (not just the biotech disruptors).
Because you don’t have to be a biologist, or even a design thinker, to do this. It only requires an entrepreneurial mindset.
Because it strengthens both your decision making (THINK) and executional performance (DO).
Because it opens up the potential for multiples. 1. Multiple new revenue streams, 2. Multiple new market creating, 3. Demand-led B2B and B2C growth, 4. Scalable growth, 5. De-risking, 6. Lower costs, 7. Capital flows, 8. More profit, and 9. you play at the highest order of sustainability.
And because frankly, it’s way more fun. It’s why we call it the bright side.
THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR
We’ve learned that unlocking your potential comes down to how you think about value. Because value is at the core of design thinking.
How to create, deliver, leverage and convert value
How to sense, seize, scale and transform value potential
Our research shows Nature works dynamically across not one, but four interdependent value axes i. Value flow. ii. Value regeneration. iii. Value exchange, and iv. Value potentiality.
So we give you the value levers to pull across all four axes. And you build the disruptive dynamic capabilities you need to unlock your growth potential.
