Presenting Doughnut Econ to businesses (slides)

Overview

This is a set of slides that include detailed notes for use in presenting Doughnut Economics to businesses.

The slide notes under each slide include guidance and speaker notes, as well as links to further reading. The guidance (displayed in capitals in the slides notes) highlights where a slide is optional and when it may be useful to include that optional slide. All other slides should be included in the presentation to ensure concepts are covered adequately, and the integrity of Doughnut Economics is protected.

The slides are in Google Slides format but can be downloaded as a PPT or PDF if this is easier to use. You can access the slides via this link.

Who is it for?

These slides are for those who are registered as an organisation or network on DEAL's platform. It is for contexts where such people or organisations have been invited to present on Doughnut Economics to business audiences. The slides are for presentations about how businesses can engage with Doughnut Economics.

How to use it?

The presenter can create a copy of the slides (FILE > MAKE A COPY), and then delete the optional slides that don't apply to the context of the presentation. The presenter can also download the slides as a PowerPoint file or as a PDF of the Google Slides (FILE > DOWNLOAD then select the desired format in the drop-down menu).

The notes under each slide give the important information that should be conveyed when presenting each slide. There is also guidance under each slide note where a slide is optional (see text in capitals in the slide notes). There are also links to further reading where this would be helpful to understand the material in more detail.

Duration, format and materials

The presentation would be a minimum of 15 minutes and could take as long as 50 minutes. The shortest version (15 minutes) is the minimum number of slides when all optional slides are not used.

DEAL's policy for business

To balance openness with protecting the integrity of the concept of Doughnut Economics, DEAL has created a policy applying to businesses (including consultants in their work with business clients). This policy contains seven main principles:

1. Focus on the deep design of business
2. No ‘company doughnuts’
3. Public facing claims only about redesign of business
4. Doughnut and business events must be based on the tool
5. Additional guidance welcome but, for now, no new tools related to business
6. Share back learnings from using the tool
7. Propose case studies of businesses
