DEAL's Doughnut Design for Business tools are being used to engage businesses in Doughnut Economics. In this webinar, practitioners (such as consultants) who are running workshops with business leaders and entrepreneurs, will be sharing some insights.
We will hold two separate webinars on 10 May (10am and 4pm UK time) to quickly introduce the Doughnut Design for Business tools before focusing the webinar on what we are learning from practitioners using these tools. This will insights such as:
- explaining the tool and concepts to business clients
- preparing for the workshops
- identifying and overcoming any resistance
- different approaches for different kinds of businesses
Register to join the morning version of the webinar where you can learn more and join the discussion. There is a separate link for the afternoon version.
We also have a short survey for practitioners, to help DEAL determine how best to shape our work to support them. PLEASE COMPLETE THIS SHORT SURVEY.
The Doughnut Design for Business taster tool (2 hour workshop) and core tool (5 hour workshop) are focused on applying the concepts of Doughnut Economics to businesses. Both tools focus on transforming the deep design of businesses - Purpose, Networks, Governance, Ownership, Finance (see this recent video introducing this concept) - to unlock the ideas that will help humanity into the Doughnut.
The webinar will be hosted by DEAL's Business & Enterprise lead Erinch Sahan, with input and discussion from a range of practitioners using these tools.

This includes practitioners working with businesses in different ways, such as: consultants, business networks, start-up incubators, founders, intrapreneurs, trade unions, think-tanks, business schools, accelerator programmes, impact investors, community groups, NGOs... and anyone able to engage businesses in their deep design.

Hello! I'm Anna-Marie, an organisational ecologist and embodied facilitator. I currently describe my work as being that of an organisational ecologist and embodied facilitator. After authoring the reimagined story of ecological organisations and the accompanying Ecological Organisations Framework in 2023, released under creative commons, a whole new world has opened up that I'm loving exploring: organisations as edge-less, of relationship, deeply relational, and firmly entangled in social systems, ecosystems, and planetary health. To evolve that work, I founded the Patreon-hosted Ecological Organisations Constellation. Here, we gather around the story of ecological organisations and look to mature it, ground it, evolve our understanding of it and relationship with it, and bring those learnings into wider commons. It's becoming a container for practical, lived experimentation, then integrating our discoveries into our individual and shared work. I write about my work and other things in the substack Cellular Rearranging and host and produce the podcast Generative Worlding. I initiated the first season of Facilitation Pods, now continuing as a commons under co-stewardship. In the pods, we are co-crafting an intimate space for self- and shared-enquiry about facilitation and how we change and are changed by the role, a space that's also become a peer supervision investigating our experiences.

Hello! I'm currently working as Source for the Piʌot Project - the emergent people-powered movement for regenerative transformation. [Towards a more beautiful future] I'm also a regenerative business designer, a bookseller selling nature/travel/adventures books that help folk reconnect with themselves and the rest of the natural world, as well as a collaborator with the Leeds Doughnut Coalition. Before finding my wings in 2020 I was the Head of Policy at the York and North Yorkshire LEP where I developed England's first, and only, carbon-negative Local Industrial Strategy, integrated the UN SDG's into our decision making and project appraisal processes and pioneered the implementation of design thinking in the public sector. In my work now I'm investigating the role that we puny humans and our powerful businesses can play in nurturing a more beautiful future via a post-growth economy.

I am Mark Bollen, founder of WaterMark, #environmental engineer and #pragmatic #innovator. My goal is to help others realize their regenerative projects with inspiration, goal setting & tools & methods, while working on their first impact step. I focus mainly on climate change mitigation & adaptation & biodiversity loss. Open collaboration with multiple partners is crucial in my opinion. Together with a variety of purpose-driven entrepreneurs, collectives & organisations covering a variety of expertise we aim to build a new resilient world step by step, project by project. After 15 years of engineering, consultancy & innovation in the waterworld (hence the name), I shifted my focus to #innovation, future #foresight studies & facilitation of processes 5 years ago. I have worked with corporations, public partners, organisations & knowledge institutes as well as small & medium enterprises in various sectors. I have studied & worked on challenges related to #watermanagement, #environmentalimpact, #renewableenergy, #climatechangeadaptation, #resourcescarcity, new technologies, nature based solutions & circularity. I am a no-nonsense pragmatist that likes to help others realise their aspirations & dreams.
