What is a regenerative game?
-
A regenerative game bridges strategy with science, so you can see, unlock and leverage the deep patterns of how biological living systems work.
Regenerative actions have a positive effect on the system they operate within. Regenerative solutions create conditions for life to flourish.
Unlike most conversations, there are not one but FOUR AXES to a regenerative game. Learning these builds up your BQ (your biological quotient) and gives you the tools you need to transform from playing a degenerative game to a regenerative game:
Transforming to cleaner, more renewable, more environmentally non-toxic solutions (ECOLOGY)
Shifting to more ethical, equitable, dignified and autonomous solutions for people and communities (ETHICS)
Shifting to more circular systems that keep materials, energy and information in flow (SYSTEMS)
Transforming to unlock our full bio-potential, tapping into the genius of Nature’s R&D and tech toolkit (BIOMIMCRY)
Why play a regenerative game?
-
Most businesses and start-ups play a small ‘sustainability footprint’ game. At best, this plays on only one of the FOUR AXES. At worst, it’s a gamified play of offset calculations, regulatory compliance or greenwashing.
What is less understood is that this approach leave most of the potential on the table, untapped.
The ‘natural capital’ bubble is 3x larger than the CO2 bubble. The natural capital cost of primary production and processing industries is higher than their revenues (Stuchtey et al 2016).
As global markets price in the full cost of energy and material resources, the disruptive tension to address value that is currently lost, wasted or future-borrowed, is exponentially rising.
If you choose to play the bigger regenerative game, you get to ride the crest of the big disruptive wave coming in.
“There's no such thing as winning or losing; only ahead and behind” Simon Sinek The Infinite Game
Why we love regenerative games
-
Playing a regenerative game is different. It’s not only the biggest game of disruption there is, it’s fun!
When we play a regenerative game, we stop playing like a machine, and start playing like Nature.
It taps into the R&D tech genius of Nature, hidden in plain sight.
Which means we get to shift our hardwiring to one of abundance, we get to play with an infinite mindset, unlocking infinite opportunities and potential, and we don’t have a single net zero conversation.
