Plenary Finance & Growth
Economic growth theory embraced by Nobel Laureate William Nordhaus advocates for “optimal” global warming of 3.5C – a recipe for triggering a tipping point into hothouse Earth! r3.0 will release the Sustainable Finance Blueprint in this segment and discusses a financial market complementarity serving a regenerative & distributive economy.

Plenary Value & Circularity
What is value – is it synonymous with money, or does it encompass a much broader expression that aligns with regenerative & distributive economy design? And how can we align a circular economy with a sustainable economy to ensure system value creation (beyond the current fad of impact valuation). r3.0 will release the Value Cycles Blueprint in this segment.

Plenary Governance & Education
What new global, regional and local governance is needed to allow a regenerative & distributive economy to come into fruition, and how can shifts in funding priorities support the emergence of a regenerative & distributive economy? How must education transform to support the emergence of regenerative cultures? This focus-area will initiate work on the last two Blueprints in the second generation of r3.0 Blueprint development – the Governments / Mulilaterals / Foundations Blueprint and the Educational Transformation Blueprint – setting the stage for r3.0 to enter a full adaptation cycle for its Blueprints in 2021.

Market-Making Ideas And Solutions Part 1
Slot 1: The THRIVE Platform: A New Resource for Thresholds-Based Performance Assessment & Business Model Design
The THRIVE Platform is a conceptual framework and practical tool informed by the best available sciences. It combines the 12 foundational focus factors built on principles such as strong sustainability, context-based metrics, multi-capital and values-based innovation, to name a few, into the framework. It is offered as a free and openly available common good, which utilizes a systems thinking approach to entity model innovation, thus scale-linking entity strategy or model to sustainability performance. Through the process of systemic orchestration, leveraging backcasting techniques, it provides a dynamic science-based targeted assessment by connecting global thresholds and allocations with quantitative sustainability scores.
THRIVE Platform measures what matters most, by empowering society and provoking entities to flourish and providing guidance towards thrivability. For further information, including free access to the platform, visit THRIVE Project.

Market-Making Ideas And Solutions Part 2
Slot 4: Practical Tools for Designing, Managing, and Monitoring organizations and networks as Regenerative Living Systems.
“If you want to teach people a new way of thinking, don’t bother trying to teach them. Instead, give them a tool, the use of which will lead to new ways of thinking.” – Buckminster Fuller
The dominant model for organizational design and management today is that of a machine. We design our departments as gears to run “like a well-oiled machine”, treat our people as replaceable and expendable parts and ensure they “have enough bandwidth” and monitor our operations by checking if we have things “dialed in”. As a result, the design and management of our organizations is extracting from employees, communities, and our ecosystems. Alternatively, there is increasing interest in viewing our organizations and networks as living systems that regenerate the well-being of their employees, the communities they are a part of, and the ecosystems they depend on. While this new organizational paradigm is promising, the need for operational design, management and monitoring tools remain.
This session will share how nRhythm is using its Regenerative Framework and Organizational Health Index to design, operate, scale and monitor complex organizations and multi-sector networks as living systems. We will share practical examples from our work with diverse clientele from private manufacturing and agriculture businesses, architecture and law firms, non-profits/NGOs advancing racial equity to global networks working to regenerate grasslands and build regenerative economies.

Slot 5: Market Traction – Innovating Strategy Development for Flourishing Enterprise Futures
This session will explore how the Business Evolution approach, including the Flourishing Strategy Design Method and other innovative design tools, were deployed to member firms of the Global Centre of Expertise – Norwegian Offshore Drilling and Engineering (GCE NODE) cluster. To accelerate the mobilization of this applied learning program globally, a train-the-trainer model is being employed that enabled GCE NODE to rapidly build the expertise needed to lead and scale delivery without support. The success achieved has prompted GCE NODE to begin licensing the program and delivering training to other Norwegian clusters keen to bring this leading innovation to enterprises in their own sectors. The session will also examine the potential for applying the Business Evolution approach within the municipal sector, with a focus on an engagement recently established with the fastest growing city in Canada and an international applied research project being led at Wilfrid Laurier University and focused innovation in city planning.
