Management Innovation According to Nature's Genius
This article highlights how a "take, make, waste" economy is not tenable in the long term and that it's time to reinvent. By looking at the 3.8 billion years of planetary evolution and the genius of nature, we can find examples to use as blueprints for products, processes, and system organization that help us create a healthier, more resilient future. Read this article to discover practical approaches to biomimicry.
How can the seven principles of life be applied to help companies adopt nature's way and create sustainable innovation? What can we learn from nature to change our "take, make, waste" ways?
Introduction
The current industry model is broken. Our economy is built on a "take make waste" model that negatively impacts environmental and human systems and is not tenable in the long term. It is time to reinvent. We are gifted with an array of genius examples in nature–mechanisms and ecosystems that have evolved over 3.8 billion years and provide a blueprint for products, processes, and system organization that can be truly effective toward a healthier, resilient future. We propose that companies mimic nature and reinvent themselves around the fundamental science of Biomimicry's seven Life's Principles. This is Management Innovation According to Nature's Genius.
