re/designing business to disrupt. regeneratively.
using
Nature’s
design thinking playbook
biomimicry . ecology . ethics . systems .
STRATEGY . INNOVATION . TRANSFORMATION .
We specialize in helping exec teams and entrepreneurs through the transformative process of re/designing business regeneratively. We do this using our bio.t METHOD, based on Nature’s disruptive design thinking playbook.
why? Because 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. We believe in showcasing what’s possible.
(the risk only sits on the balance sheets and P&Ls of 20th century business models too slow to change).
welcome to the bright side
not human centered design but life centered design. playing in the intersection of biomimicry, ecology, ethics and systems.
high performance. high efficiency. low energy. high growth potential.

not Nature positive. but Nature played.

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. Update your design thinking practice.
“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

Most organizations are playing a Nature game driven by TNFD and SBTN governance disclosures. Considering their Nature footprint alongside their climate emissions.
But if we’ve adopted a compliance cost mindset, and tracking impacts, buying biodiversity credits, or planting offset trees, we’re kinda missing the point.
Despite political rhetoric, global markets are still rapidly pricing in the costs of Nature. So if we haven’t connected our strategy to the science of life, then the disruptive impact on our balance sheets and P&Ls will be big. Across every facet of our business.
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.
However, a rapidly emerging global movement of disruptors, strategists, innovators, researchers, and design thinkers are playing 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 growth scalability.
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.
Cutting-edge businesses playing this new game are re/engineering anything from products, services and platforms to business models, value chains and operations.
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. And 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 journey to re/engineer your strategy and innovations. No matter where you are right now.
We work with you in three ways: 1. Diagnostics. 2. Capability building. 3. Strategic transformation.
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 get to build the disruptive dynamic capabilities that matter, to unlock your growth potential.
