This is our growing collection of methods, models and frameworks used in Constructivist training and the Pattern Book for Regenerative Design. These tools help people think systemically, act regeneratively, and design for thriving.
Featured Tools
These are some of the most widely-used tools in the Regenerative Design Lab and our training programmes. All feature in The Pattern Book for Regenerative Design and are available for re-use under Creative Commons licence CC-BY-SA 4.0, so please use and share widely!
Ambition Loop
A model for testing whether a policy or strategy is likely to take root and scale within a system.
Changing Mindsets
Three mindset shifts to change what we see is possible and how we can work with what we have
Continuous Place-Based Design
A design cycle rooted in place, embracing complexity, and evolving through ongoing observation, testing and learning.
Goal of Regenerative Design
This goal sets our overall intention in regenerative design, and helps distinguish this work from other approaches.
Kalideascope
A simple model for having ideas, combining a wide range of creative inputs and finding stimuli to create new connections.
Library of Systems Change
This framework combines the Three Horizons and Systems Bookcase to show how systems evolve over time.
Living Systems Blueprint
Three characteristics of living systems for building a regenerative design brief and testing our regenerative ideas.
Systems Bookcase
A model for understanding how decisions are made in a system and how to influence the outcomes that we want to create.
Three Horizons
A model showing how a present, unstable state can give way to a future, more desirable state.
