For Future: Doughnut design for business

What is the future of business?

The climate is warming and ecosystems are crumbling. And we see, hear, feel and experience the effects. We are part of the thin layer of ecosystems, living in them and our survival is dependent on them.

Our perspective of the world is changing. We have to learn how to lead and design businesses as the world needs, that include both planetary boundaries and human well-being in their foundations.

We are organising the first Doughnut design for business event in Finland, that focuses on the transition of the deep design of businesses, so that they can become regenerative and distributive in their core operations.

The Doughnut approach envisions a world that meets the needs of all people within the means of the living planet. It's a world that is regenerative, rather than degenerative. And it is far more distributive of value and opportunity than today’s economy. https://doughnuteconomics.org

The event is facilitated by Valtteri Aaltonen and Jälleenrakentajat co-op, who are experts in Doughnut Economics. Minna Halme, professor of Sustainability Management at Aalto University School of Business, will join the workshop as Mentor.

The event is divided into two sections:

Part 1: the talk Doughnut design for business (Live and Online) will introduce the framework and approach and form the mental state for the day and following discussions, as well as the workshop.

Part 2: the Doughnut design for business workshop (Live only) will empower change makers to hands-on explore what the doughnut approach would mean in their business, and introduce the steps how to design a business that is compatible with the world and life in it.


Date: 3.10.2023 Location: Helsinki, Central Library Oodi
