| Introduction | Thriving on one planet within our boundaries needs us to create regenerative businesses; and these can only thrive if they are designed from the ground up differently.
Evolutesix exists to do this by providing individuals and businesses with a plug-and-play operating system that is designed to simultaneously maximise productivity and human development. At the centre is the Evolutesix Adaptive Way Platform: Bringing together human-centric, strategic, self-developmental and 21st Century organisational design. We have three elements: – DOJO: Peer-to-peer programmes for adaptive leadership development, for individuals, teams and businesses. – HuMan: An adaptive operational framework & organisational design, integrating self-governing, deliberately developmental, requisite organisation design with FairShares legal structures. – HuCap: An Evoluter programme (incubation & investment) for startups |
| Why am I an OPEN Fellow? | The purpose, principles and activity set of OPEN has a very high overlap with ours in Evolutesix. It makes sense for us to build of each other’s work to have a larger, scalable contribution to harnessing business as a force for good. We believe that our Adaptive Way specifically can help the OPEN network. |
| Areas of expertise | Corporate sustainability, Strategy, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Responsible leadership, Governance & Ethics, Organisational behaviour, Change management, Business transformation, Business models, Systems thinking, Science, Emerging Markets / Base of Pyramid |
| My expertise in more detail | My primary focus is reinventing organisations to use them as a lever for regeneration. This centres on integrating, into a fit-for-purpose way of structuring and running any organisation (but especially a for-profit one), self-governing organisation design, deliberately developmental organisation design, requisite organisation design, human-centred design thinking, disruptive innovation and approaches like lean business models etc. The outcome is a business that performs superbly on any hard business metric because people are fully valued and enabled to grow. |
| Credentials | Ph.D. in particle physics – complex systems thinking etc.

| Products/Services offered | Our products offer a plug and play toolkit to address major challenges; those that require us to adapt, those where simply learning a new technique is inadequate. These include:
– Evolutesix Adaptive Way Dojo for individuals, teams and organisations. – Transformational thinking for leaders taking you beyond systems thinking. (training, communities of practice, facilitated processes e.g. for leadership teams) – Adaptive organisation design and operations, by integrating self-governing with developmental organisation design. We have developed a diagnostic for this, along with training and consulting packages. – Adaptive legal structures. We offer training and consulting with others in the FairShares association on legal structures that fairly distribute both power and wealth to all stakeholders. |
