Evoluter Incubator Core Program
The 3 Pillars of the Adaptive Organisation
The startup team designs & develops an all-capitals, all-stakeholders business model canvas, which then becomes the basis for incorporating the company to multiply all capitals, not just financial capital. This takes the startup through to having a business model validated with all of the stakeholders involved, and all of the capitals that the regenerative business touches.
This process takes at least three months, where participants complete 2 to 3 design sprints, developing hypotheses and testing them. Modules include: Business Model Canvas, Legal & IP, Financial Planning - Ergodic Strategies.
In parallel, the startup team lays the foundations for ongoing operations.
Startup teams will become proficient in using the latest approaches to working together, including consent / integrative decision-making, functional versus management accountability hierarchies, and agile, delegated, fluid roles. The basis is Sociocracy and Holacracy.
Participants, in facilitated workshops, will have proficiency in reaching rapid, efficient decisions that take into account all understanding from everyone in the team; in how to structure organisations as functional, human accountability hierarchies, So that the startups working processes can change faster than their changing business environment demands. This minimises the risk of startup failure caused by slow reactions, and information on opportunities and risks not reaching decision-makers in time. Companies using these processes consistently outperform their peers.
This is an intense, transformational process of self and team development. Participants, in live Dojo sessions, get to work on their inner and relational capacity to adapt and grow their socio-emotional, as well as cognitive capacity. By applying the Adaptive Way peer to peer developmental dialogue patterns in a safe space, you'll grow your capacity to be well equipped when conflict emerges and transform these tensions into strengths and personal growth.
In particular, participants develop proficiency in using nonviolent communication, Kegan’s Immunity to Change processes, and the systems thinking elements of the 28 post logical thought forms.
Even if a startup team or individual only progresses to the end of this 3 month programme, but does not incorporate, they will have gained personal skills they will use for the rest of their life.
These human interactivity processes are designed to minimise the risk of human energy being wasted on internal friction, so that all the available energy goes into delivering impact. Companies using these processes are becoming recognised as consistently outperforming their peers (e.g. Bridgwater).
The Evoluter Incubator is for you if:
These Startups are:
We need living, adaptive organisations that move at the speed of change because they are self-organising, with fluid hierarchies led by the best person in that moment to do that job. Living organisations are antifragile, adapting to changing opportunities and shocks. This means harnessing conflict as hard data on where to grow next.
And they create connected, regenerative Business Ecosystems
In a regenerative economy, business generates a healthy profit. If you incorporate as a FairShares Commons, your organisation regenerates not only financial profit, but nature, society, and each individual working in the business grows. A regenerative economy includes profitably everything in a circular economy, triple bottom line, impact, etc. Companies with strong environmental, social, and governance norms recorded higher performance and credit ratings through five factors: top-line growth, lower costs, fewer legal and regulatory interventions, higher productivity, and optimized investment and asset utilization. Connect all these startups by sharing governance and profits, creating a multi-capital pool of shared resources, and you get a powerful and regenerative business ecosystem that has 20x the impact than any one conglomerate could ever have.
