Nature’s Playbook: Designing Operating Models and Teams That Thrive

03 Mar 2026
Innovation Hub (Ground Floor)
Net-Zero Business

What if your next breakthrough in organisational design didn’t come from a business book—but from a beehive, coral reef, or flock of birds?

Nature has been innovating for 3.8 billion years—quietly perfecting systems that are adaptive, resilient and elegantly efficient.

In this session, we explore how organisations can borrow from nature’s strategies to design operating models that flex, self‑organise and flourish under pressure.

We'll look at how we structure organisations, create adaptive operating models, and cultivate purpose‑driven teams through the lens of biomimicry, taking lessons from biological networks, cooperative species, and regenerative ecosystems.

Expect to leave with fresh thinking and nature‑inspired frameworks they can apply immediately.
