A community of leaders, makers and doers, who are restoring the equilibrium between our economy, ecology and communities. We are designing the designers for a more regenerative future.
Beauty is our homecoming. Beauty speaks a universal language and has the power to change the world. And the more people we can inspire and engage through this simple yet powerfully optimistic idea, the more our world and humanity’s relationship with it will transform for the better. Beauty is a verb, “I Do”.
Join our movement to making a more regenerative world.
What does sustainability mean for my organisation?
Around the world many CEOs are asking ‘What does sustainability mean for my organisation’? The Design School for Beautiful Business is helping people and organisations to understand what the world needs and the impact they can have (the what). This is achieved through the programmes we run (the how). Currently, organisations are somewhere between a CSR policy, carbon reporting and ‘greening’ agenda. The School helps unlock and create a longer term strategy. It shifts us from a mindset of competitive advantage to an applied regenerative worldview. DS4BB helps businesses identify and nurture new capabilities and achieve that new reality.

Our Programmes
To achieve social and economic change on a global level, our school offers transformative learning experiences that will enable you to reimagine what is possible (because it is to our imaginations we must speak). Then how to apply those insights to design for a regenerative world.
In your reimagining you offered a new set of lenses “beauty in its many forms” to see and recalibrate the world:
– Beauty as a foundation for all life
– Nature’s regenerative design model
– Biomimetics as the roots of design
– Regenerative values and metrics
– Working cultures created and made from the humus of generosity
– Creativity as the most important thing we all can can bring to the table
You will get to design a *Beautiful Business and model it. Be introduced to the concept and development of the *Poetic Brief, work with *13 Design Questions tool kit, learn to use the new *Metrics of a Regenerative Economy, guiding you towards designing a business the world needs.
You will be able to measure the success (beauty) of your design (product, process, system) compared to nature's design lessons.
Combined with our research into some of the most pioneering and progressive organisations and businesses on the planet, whose desire is simple – to create a better future for us all. We need as many beautiful leaders and makers as we can possibly get.

The Eden Project
The school's foundations in beauty and design have a role to play to enable a means
for thought processes of inclusion, strategy, direction and protocols, the building blocks
to an operating protocol for Spaceship Eden 2.0 which in turn could be Spaceship anywhere.
