The Beautiful Business Designer
Six-Part Programme
World Makers Wanted.

It is the biggest design brief ever.
Outcomes
You never get to think like this. These are deep questions you have asked. I liked the way you gave me space to reflect, walk around an idea, investigate it. Rather than say this is right that is wrong. You listened and were happy to discuss.
This was never a superficial conversation: using the Beautiful Business Designer Framework allowed me to reimagine many possibilities for my business. To see a greater potential than we thought possible.

Our work together will empower you in your future work to restore the equilibrium between our ecology, economy and the communities we serve:

Beautiful Purpose – design your beautiful ‘why’ to create your own Beautiful Business.
Beautiful Planet – become part of an intimate community of like minded designers, creating regenerative actions for our planet.
Methodology and Programme Outline
The Beautiful Business Designer Six-Part Programme is based on the ideas and principles shared in Alan Moore’s best-selling books Do Design and Do Build, combined with our collective years spent designing purpose-led businesses, beautiful products, catalytic ideas, and mentoring and teaching future ‘Beautiful Business Designers’.
Our programme is delivered in two phases,The Reset and The Doing. Each is designed to reset your thinking and provide the methodologies, skills and framework to enable you to design a beautiful business from the inside out.
We follow this work with phase three, The Regenerating. To ensure the idea is perpetual, you will gain access to mentoring, community and continued learning to support you in your practice of designing a beautiful business that will sustain you, whilst restoring the communities you serve.
The Reset
The Reset will reconnect you to the power and guiding philosophy of beauty – in all its forms. The Reset is a clearing of old ideas, myths and unhealthy paradigms. You will emerge with an entirely new way and lens to see a world made more beautiful, and the means to interrogate and activate your own purpose.
This is a highly personal journey, a deep dive that as a process will challenge you intellectually and emotionally. Your outcome, an optimistic platform to progress to the second phase of the Six-Part Programme. Our cohorts always find that an exciting place to be.
Our reset offers:
- A values based approach to life
- An optimistic language which frames all that we do
- How beauty can help us create cultures of generosity
- A reconnection to the vivid power of creative imagination
- Develop and articulate your own personal manifesto and purpose statement
Beauty + Nature
Tuning up to beauty. Beauty takes us out of surfaces and into the foundations of things. Beauty as our homecoming, as language, as philosophy.
Nature’s order is founded on symmetry and harmony – a beautiful deep design model at macro and micro scale – the foundation for all life. What if Nature’s deep design model shows us the way to reconnect ourselves, to each other, to rethink the true nature of: business, organisational culture, values, metrics, economy, and how to redesign business to create a regenerative world.
Regenerative Futures
Regenerative companies are increasingly defined by their values-based worldviews: they are mission-driven firms that strive for more compassionate, responsible and ecologically restorative ways of doing business. They measure success in different ways. We have studied the most pioneering, and you get to learn how regenerative design, values and metrics are so much more effective, efficient and contributory to a better world. We know that with Regenerative Design, making money and saving the planet, can be one and the same thing. It’s the cool thing and the right thing.
Beautiful Cultures + Generosity
Culture is the foundation of any organisation, the unique psychological coding that shapes how we engage and interact with each other, how we speak, what we talk about, how we are made to feel, and how we make decisions. It’s important because culture decides what gets done. Work-based cultures premised upon empathy, generosity and reciprocity are more likely to release the full creative potential of an organisation.
The Doing
Your mission is to redesign business to create a regenerative world. It is time to put everything into action. It is not enough to see the world anew, we must be able to bring others with us.
We all have the capacity to bring beautiful things into this world and should be unapologetic about wanting to create them, whatever they are. Beauty is what lends things their immortality and takes us beyond limitations.
You will emerge from The Doing fully activated and ready to apply your knowledge as change agents, activists and world makers.
Beauty is a verb, I Do.
You will get to design:
- Design your Beta version of a beautiful business and implementation plan
- Work with the 13 Design Questions
- Use The Beautiful Business Designer Canvas
- Use the power of the Poetic Brief
- Learn to use the Metrics of a Regenerative Economy
Guiding you towards designing a business the world needs.
Design
Design is not incidental to modern economies – it is integral. Design has the role of opening up new ways of thinking about our world and our environment. Everything is designed. Regenerative design is our framework, your practice. Understanding the potential of design is a key outcome.
Designing a Beautiful Business
This is your advanced studio in which you design your Beta version of a Beautiful Business, using our methodology, framework and learning from the programme.
Embedding as Cultural Practice
In which you create a design for transformation, including collaboration, learning, bridging strategies, and creating a lingua franca for your organisation.
The Regenerating
Our programmes are designed to create perpetual ‘communities of being’ because, ultimately, this is the science behind lasting transformation. In The Regenerating you will be joining our ongoing community of other world makers.
A Beautiful
Business
Designer™
is a circular
designer.
Ours is unlike any other learning model as it is never-ending. We are designed to bring others with us every step of the way and long into the future through perpetual learning, mentoring, sharing and community because that’s how a Beautiful Business Designer practices.
One of the core values of a Beautiful Business Designer is giving back by mentoring future designers. Each participant will be given access, resources and training to mentor future designers from around the world on the beliefs and behaviours of a Beautiful Business Designer.
Participants will be connected to their cohort beyond the duration of the programme through regularly scheduled group sessions utilising ‘regenerating’ prompts and exercises based on Do Design and Do Build.
The opportunity for learning never stops. As part of the community, each participant will have early access to further learning opportunities, including workshops, presentations, projects and our certification programme.
“Do Build may be the most enlightened, concise, and extraordinary book on business ever written.”
– Paul Hawken, author, founder of Smith + Hawken, and lifelong environmental activist
