Nature’s Blueprint for Business

Harnessing the Hidden Power of Edges

Tapping into proven strategies, mechanisms and patterns that have been fine-tuned over 3.8 billion years, this book bridges the gap between the natural world and the business world and explores how to develop resilient organisations and businesses using lessons from nature.

Ines Garcia is founder and CEO of Get Agile, where she engages with customers around the world to deliver better value and reduce waste.

“We do indeed need to fundamentally transform businesses if we are to live within the limits of this living planet, and ensure that we and all species thrive. Nature’s Blueprint for Business artfully draws together the wisdom from the natural world that can help all businesses to start that critical transformation.”

Erinch Sahan, Business & Enterprise Lead, Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL)

Edges

The science of biomimicry is an emerging force helping us to gaze afresh at the world around us, often inspiring technological inspiration, but we have been slow to look at the organisational and relationship models that are all around us.

 

This book contends that natural abundance flourishes at the edges, where one environmental element contacts another, and that these relationships, which have been successful for millennia, have endless lessons for us about how we organise ourselves. Each chapter starts with a clear example of a problem that a team or organisation might face, goes on to consider a range of natural examples offering practical suggestions on how to incorporate Nature’s wisdom in the business world, and concludes with success stories of people and organisations already embracing the principles outlined in the book. Employing these principles and aided by suggested activities, readers will develop personalised plans, tailored to their unique situations, to lead their teams’ evolution into thriving organisations.

 

Observing edges, spaces, and boundaries shows that these are where magic happens—and with this book, leaders of all types of teams and organisations will be empowered to make real and immediate changes in their own contexts.

“This beautiful book illuminates the possibilities that exist all around us, right outside – on the edge of our imagination, on the edge of our organisations, on the edge of our comfort zone. With her characteristic wit and incisive vision, Ines takes us on a wild and rewarding journey of learning to use nature’s genius as a guide to build connected, resilient organisations.”

Are you willing to be part of the solution?


What has become more apparent over the last 2-5 years is that our “Business As Usual” is the most UN-usual. The numbers are in:

  • air pollution contributes to 3.7million human deaths a year

  • 1 million species are threatened with extinction

  • we’ve converted 75% of the land that is not covered by ice

  • 6 of the 9 greatest threats to the world are directly related to the ongoing destruction of nature, destruction by us, humans, 1 species


How are you applying the concepts, structures and practices outlined in the book?

“Inspiring, and thought-provoking. A must-read for anyone looking to redefine the boundaries between innovation and sustainability. Ines Garcia brilliantly combines bio-inspiration and business design, urging us to adopt a new paradigm that harnesses Nature’s wisdom to drive a more sustainable future.”

Francisco Martin-Martinez, Senior Lecturer, King’s College London

“The science is in”

In the book, Ines sets out the new path for businesses to follow to create workplaces of our future. She dives into the science behind each of these three business imperatives and follows this up with clear ABC’s and CBA’s on how to make the shift starting right now. Create real, sustainable change in their teams and organisations straight away.

“Create a better business”

This book will challenge you to combine collaboration, sustainability and emotional intelligence to create a better business. Ines’ experience in innovation makes her the perfect to explore how thinking beyond profit alone can lead to more impact.

Meggie Palmer, Founder PepTalkHer, Fortune 500 Executive Coach & Facilitator

“Admirable potential”

It is a complex but mandatory path, full of challenges and in which, at the moment, we are all apprentices. Hence the importance of this work to help the fundamental efforts to achieve a sustainable happy profit.

Wagner de Siqueira Pinto, ESG, Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility Advisor
