Event Details

The current business model is no longer fit for purpose. What is the new model and what are the next steps to transition?

Are you inspired by nature? How about business? So is The Firm of the Future. Transformational times call for transformational change. Today’s rapidly changing business environment calls for businesses to be responsive and resilient and cognisant of the ecosystem of Earth.

Topics covered include biomimicry, the possibilities of firms inspired by nature, and business & nature. Net Impact London presents a range of speakers who want to walk you through this transformation.

Giles Hutchins is Global Director and Head of Sustainability Solutions at Atos Origin and focuses on how business can learn from nature through the concepts of biomimicry and enabling sustainable business models to adapt resiliently in these increasingly volatile times.

Andy Middleton is founding director of The TYF Group and co-organiser of the DO Lectures & Hay on Earth sustainability seminars. He now focuses his research on sustainability problem solving and mapping pathways for food security and integration of ecological awareness in schools and universities

Louise Carver is a sustainability entrepeneur who is currently involved in building Biomimicry for Creative Innovation. Current and past research has included evaluating links between demographic and climate change and society’s relationship with science.
