A REGENERATIVE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY –

MANAGEMENT AND WORK DESIGN

We are starting a new Management & Work Design cohort, part of a series of designing a Regenerative Business. Newcomers are welcome too. 

Regenerative Management and Work Design  (New Cohort)

Claim your team’s place now.

Most well-intended businesses are using archaic work design (hierarchies), work systems (pay and progression, discipline), and work processes (reviews, competencies). These businesses don’t see the connection between these system limiters because they are “nicer” to people than the old designs, have profit-sharing, and add “pledge to save the planet” missions. These move the needle very little, partly because many are outside the systems – like philanthropy, sourcing focused, and social causes (the least effective way to achieve deep and systemic change). They borrowed slightly better structures like holarchy (which have more downsides than are gained from adaptations) or they don’t see the effects on people because they don’t know what to look for. They also don’t stop the work systems and processes that are toxic, not knowing how to.

Most businesses aren’t connected to the proven best ideas for structures, systems, and processes that would revolutionize work. And those that are offered are not good for business or social change simultaneously. They are still filled with toxic practices based on behaviorism and humanist paradigms. The alternatives have existed for 60 years but are not broadly known about. Plus, when people find something that seems better than the bad stuff, and they are well-intended people, they feel good when they adopt it – and don’t look back. With Regenerative Work Design, no one loses and everyone wins evenly. The opposite of these promises is the tradeoffs with each aspect of current design, where competition underlies everything, fostering a politicized culture and disproportionate outcomes.

Learn the 8 phases of work-redesign that offer change benefits immediately. Then each next phase serves as a foundation for the next phases of great evolution, benefit, and contribution to stakeholders, workers, and business.

Who can attend? 

Any business team that has been in previous TRBDC (Regenerative Business Development Community) of Strategy, Leadership, or Management; Also new teams not part of previous TRBDC. It is designed so you can catch up on key frameworks between sessions.

The Financial investment for One Year Membership 

$5497 for up to three people; pay $1000 for each additional person. There is no reduction in cost for fewer than three people per business member. Our experience has taught us that participants must have good quality thinking partners who attend the sessions with them and share the experience as part of a team. Each of the twelve businesses engages in deep and rapid application, and with at least three individuals connected to Carol and other resources they have a much better chance of success. Multiple perspectives are required to hear and internalize the very rich, powerful, complex material offered. In breakout sessions during the webinars, teams will sometimes work together and sometimes with members from other businesses’ teams. Please note that payments made to join the Regenerative Business Development Community are  refundable for 3 days after purchase, minus a 3% handling fee. No refunds will be given after the first meeting. Reach out to us or one of our resources before signing up to make sure you are a good fit. See Terms of Service for the use of materials and processes.

 “Carol Sanford’s probing questions helped us think more clearly about who we are as a company and how we can become more effective at achieving our mission. How can we, ourselves, and all of our employees shape and resonate with the goals of the business at a deep level? Carol offered ways for placing our highest human values at the center of our business, so that the business can become more relevant in the world and more rewarding to both customers and employees.”
