Regenerative Business Design is a step-by-step process to build a business that can sustain you financially while staying true to your core values, whether you’re envisioning a for-profit or not-for-profit organization. What do you need to know, consider, and plan for in order to launch a business that will have a high likelihood of success and a plan for handling failures, fumbles, and hurdles? The basis of regenerative business design is a plan to successfully balance the triple bottom line: people, planet, and profit. This workshop will help get you started!
