A template to develop a personal doughnut

The aim is to provide guidance on lowering our impact on the earth whilst increasing social purpose and positive ways of being, helping the individual and household to thrive. There is no right or wrong way to do this, just the act of thinking about it is incredibly productive. Working with peers provides a supportive and encouraging environment to consider what action to undertake.

After having worked for 30 years in and for large and medium-sized companies, both in management and in consultancy, it is time to apply my knowledge and skills for donut economics. I am an experienced marketer, lean six sigma blackbelt, systemic change expert and manager. I have a clear vision of the ingredients needed to get groups 'on' for a different way of thinking and behaviour. and how to embed this into new routines. I was surprised when I discovered that the approach we adopt in our agency is almost 1:1 to the donut economics mindsets. That is why I am changing my own compass and am going to use it for companies and institutions and the city of Rotterdam.

I am a life-long learner. From a early background in computer systems, which gave me a whole-systems lens through which to approach the rest of my life, I've been an educator, author, artist, Transition movement trainer/contributor (since 2008), Permaculture instructor/designer, group facilitator, complementary currency designer, researcher, parent, grandparent. I love seeing through multiple lenses and points-of-view. I guess you could say I am a Whole-Systems, Biomimicry, "DANCING ON MY LEARNING EDGES" explorer ... contributing, connecting, and loving, with joy.

Developing communities of practice and inquiry to link businesses and organisations interested in tackling the climate emergency through sustainable work practices. We envisage a hub bringing together like minded people and organisations, to act as a living lab, build and share good practice through projects and flourishing communities. Using our individual and collective agency to embed sustainable business models, circular design and supply chains and responsible management practices in an actionable, kind and ethical manner. Our projects link students, scholars and practitioners to build, test and embed MVPs (minimum viable products) that enable SMEs (Small to Medium Sized enterprises) to cut waste, design, build and deliver circular products and services. The ultimate aim of the hub, is to test approaches that can be replicated across the UK and Globally to help us to meet our UN Sustainable Development Goal commitments.
