“Successful companies will take their design from nature, their values from their customers and their discipline from the market place”
Amory Lovins
“Thus, the task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which
everybody sees.”
Arthur Schopenhauer
Ecological Economics
Natural Capitalism
Regenerative Design
Performance Economy
Collaborative or Sharing Economy

Circular economy in a page
• worldviews matter – how we think and learn
• science sees a world of dynamic systems (complexity)
• economics reflects science [?]
• waste = food (two cycles – technical and biological)
• shift to renewables
• shift from selling goods to services/performance
• rebuild/maintain capital to increase useful flows
• celebrate diversity – look for effectiveness
• prices to reflect full costs to assist markets
• money is primarily a medium of exchange

• most real world systems are ordered complexity, they are dynamic, interdependent…
hence systems thinking
• the key to systems thinking is
feedback, and what feedback does over time (iteration)
• the system is non-linear. Inputs do not have to be proportional to output
• interplay of positive and negative feedback gives homeostasis

18. • most real world systems are fractal – self similarity across scales00

• most real world systems are fractal – self similarity across scales
• in an economy the bloodstream might be money – it has to reach all parts for there to be a healthy body
• design has to keep in mind the whole system and it is the rules of the game – the interrelationships between the parts which is the primary influence point

19. REbalancing Analytic Approach Systemic Approach
isolates, then concentrates on the elements
studies the nature of interaction
emphasizes the precision of details
modifies one variable at a time
remains independent of duration of time; the phenomena considered are reversible.
validates facts by means of experimental proof within the body of a theory
uses precise and detailed models that are less useful in actual operation (example: econometric models)
has an efficient approach when interactions are linear and weak
leads to discipline-oriented (juxtadisciplinary) education
leads to action programmed in detail
possesses knowledge of details poorly defined goals
unifies and concentrates on the interaction between elements
studies the effects of interactions
emphasizes global perception
modifies groups of variables simultaneously
integrates duration of time and irreversibility
validates facts through comparison of the behavior of the model with reality
uses models that are insufficiently rigorous to be used as bases of knowledge but are useful in decision and action (example: models of the Club of Rome)
has an efficient approach when interactions are nonlinear and strong
leads to multidisciplinary education
leads to action through objectives
possesses knowledge of goals, fuzzy details
