Doughnut Economics Open Mandala

It's the things you don't know that will change your lives. - Wolf Vostell
In this sense, it is important to understand that it can be used from a systematised perspective, following a method or guide, but it can also be used from a completely intuitive approach and it can also be used to work with her individually or in a team.

A possible guide for use could follow the following steps:
Define what you are going to use it for
Minimally define what you are going to use it for, whether you are focusing on an innovative initiative, a product or service or you are thinking about your whole organisation...
Observe and explore the whole figure
Before starting it is always advisable to take some time to make a complete review of all the elements of the tool.
Fill in the Donut
Look at each of the 12 areas that make up our "Safe and Fair Space" of work, the inside of the Donut, and try to write down the most relevant aspects of your initiative, product/service or organisation. Don't get blocked if any of the areas are blank, just keep moving forward focusing on your proposal.
Start conversations...
Choose the system of relating the information you prefer, Fluid Relationships, Complementary Relationships or Matching Relationships; and start interconnecting the work areas.
At this point new information should begin to emerge or the information you have already incorporated should begin to be questioned... Now the Mandala is working and the conversations will begin to emerge... now we just have to enjoy it and ask the right questions without fear!
Hopefully this tool will allow you in your own process to open up new and different ways of working and usefulness.

I am an author who previously worked in the oil and gas industry and am now a sustainability activist. My first two books focus on the oil, gas and process industries where I outline what is required to enhance the performance of the managed assets. The second book dives into the management of turnarounds which is crucial for the long term success of the company. My third book explores the long term survival of businesses where they have to refocus on renewables to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. My overall focus is on the long term sustainability of businesses. The realignment of fossil fuel companies to become sustainable, using new technologies and ideas, is of particular interest to me. The phasing out of fossil fuels needs careful consideration to minimize the social and environmental impacts while ensuring an economically viable transition to net zero emissions.

My enchantment and fascination with the natural world began early with a love of animals, who I saw as ambassadors for other worlds. When I was 17, an extended hiking trip in the Wind Rivers of Wyoming sealed the deal. I teach lecture-based and experiential learning courses on sustainability, environmental ethics, ecological integrity, resilience theory, environmental psychology, and transformational learning at various Universities in the Twin Cities. I live in Mahtomedi with my three delightful children and two overly enthusiastic dogs. I consider my house one big art project, and I love to cook and entertain. Curious minds are always welcome at my table. Come say hello!
