How do you lead when the ground keeps shifting?

Regenerative LEADERSHIP

“Move fast and break things”. OK if you’re the one doing the breaking. Harder if you’re the one picking up the pieces.

There’s a lot that seems to be broken right now. And there are no simple fixes. Regenerative leaders know this. The problems are systemic so the responses need to be too.

Leading regeneratively means taking a more expansive view, applying systems sensing and systems logics to anticipate the impacts of your actions and choose mindfully. To bring people with you. To put back more than you take.
Our practically-oriented programmes help leaders to collaborate, make sense of their contexts, navigate the ever-widening array of social and political demands upon them, and balance short and long term objectives.

“Regenerative leaders have a wider ‘circle of empathy’, compassion that extends not only to a bigger social sphere but to nature, our planet and future generations too”

How do you create a thriving environment for change?

Multi-stakeholder collaboration

For starters, it’ll be messy. Allowing space for diverse constituencies, angles, values, different tolerances for light and shade, pace and uncertainty.

Much of what matters today can only be delivered by multiple organisations co-operating – Partnerships, Networks. Whether the focus is delivering major capital projects, enhancing Social Value and healthcare outcomes, addressing the climate and nature emergency, complex problems need sophisticated multi-stakeholder responses. That means finding ways to collaborate, even when the conflict can seem intractable.

Skilful programme design and sensitive facilitation can steer strategic outcomes and attend to the relational dynamics between parties, ensuring real progress is made.

“Great collaborations are like rewilding projects. You have to know when and where to intervene sensitively early on to create the conditions. Then your role is to gently nurture, not control”

How do you lead change across organisations?

System Leadership

Leading your own people is hard enough. But at least you have a mandate and some formal authority to get things done – most of the time.

What about when you’re leading a system? Integrated Care Systems, Partner Collectives – increasingly service delivery requires joined-up mechanisms and processes. Ownership and accountabilities can be unclear. Low trust environments, poor communication all exacerbate fragility in collaboration and slow responses to new demands and systems shocks.

Mobilizing support and building an effective working unit will stretch your leadership capability and place real stress on your authority. Invest in honing the relational skills as well as the strategic skills with a trusted partner.
