The Doughnut's - Three Horizon Tool!
This tool has been adopted, and specifically developed, to facilitate group work among 'Doughnut practitioners'.

Version 1.0 (June 2021)
Overview
Beyond merely finding, or otherwise developing, the resources (immediately) necessary to conduct a group exercise, the Doughnut's - Three Horizon Tool has been initiated specifically to help (relatively) small groups conceptually envision, discuss, and effectively strategize the organizational phasing of their overall project. Consequently, and to better assess the model's developmental capabilities to inform this process within the contextual framework of a circular economy however, we'd invite you to watch this "quick video introduction by Kate Raworth":
Why Use It?
Once customized to reflect and subsequently facilitate the Doughnut's impact on innovative (socioeconomic) change, the Three Horizons tool will prove a fascinating way of 'lending voice' to varying dimensions of a project's unfolding. Consequently, this expression of a particular 'horizon's' vantage point or agenda, evidences a complex set of "values" affording a means of deeply informing a project team's conscious trajectory over time.
Who Is It For?
Similarly then, the Doughnut's - Three Horizon tool can be envisioned as a fully interactive and participatory 'game' played among a relatively small (8 or less) group of practitioners, all--bearing the responsibility of participatory engagement enlisting the Doughnut Economics model for project design and/or operating systems development.
Your Invitation to Participate in the Tool's Development!
Likewise, and to both 'invite' and better 'facilitate' participatory design and development of both the "Building Better Futures" and "Three Horizons" toolkit(s), two separate but interrelated 'boards' have been created at "A DEAL "Projects" Workspace on Trello" to accommodate your engagement as a task team member!

Hi everyone! I am a french-english multidisciplinary creative director and strategist based in Amsterdam. I am experienced in design, strategic and systems thinking, relationship and project management, and coaching. I come from a creative background, but after 15 years of evolving in the "creative field", I have decided to move closer towards facilitating the development and adaptation to circular and regenerative business cultures, practices, and value creation. I have recently gone back to studying a full time MBA focused on CE / Regeneration and Purposeful Leadership and am working on a project around weaving ethics of care into business purposes and practices as a step into systematically building and nurturing regenerative value. I am currently developing a workshop based on Appreciative Inquiry to help business re-assess values / strategy based on Care and would love to share in this community any ideas towards shaping a more regenerative and distributive future for all.

I retired early from my career in technology sales. The culture of corporate America was no longer working for me. Specifically the idea that there is a moral space, where as long as you are not breaking the law, your only responsibility was to shareholder value and pursuit of profit. Full acceptance of this leaves little space to connect with your values and principles. As I dug deeper into the concepts of Doughnut Economics the decision to retire from my professional job was a no-brainer. It was a purposeful transition from years of accumulating, to focusing on how to thrive so that I could live the concepts. This in turn has freed up my time and attention capacity to make sense of the current situation of the world, understand the underlying systems, and determine how I can contribute to help make positive change. I came to DEAL to find guidance on how to take action.
