book, The Agile Workforce, now available on Amazon and other retailers. My name is Greg Kielstrom

and I'm the host of the Agile World podcast. Today we're going to talk about going beyond

adaptivity and agility into something called regeneration and how to not lose who you are as a

business in the process. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Carol Sanford,

author and executive producer at the regenerative business summit. Carol, welcome to the show.

Thanks, Greg. Happy to be here. Yeah, looking forward to talking with you. So let's get started

by talking about regenerative thinking. So for those not familiar with the concept, can you

define what you mean by regenerative and how it might differ from some other ways of thinking

in the business world? And maybe how it even differs from how most people define regeneration.

Yes, I can do that. So there are three ideas that tell me if someone's using the word regeneration,

what they really know what it means. The first one is evolve capacity. 99% of what consultants,

mentors, program designers offer is a program and answer to something about a better way to do it.

In other words, they do the researcher, they do the thinking, come with the best practice,

whatever that is, whether that's sustainability or agile or scrum, and they offer it sometimes with

belts can be earned sometimes with bases and stages regeneration is about growing their capacity

to evolve themselves. It's 100% about improving thinking and paradigm and way of seeing the world.
