How can we cultivate an appetite for cognitive dissonance, and an ability to benefit from it? We offers leaders working on organisational development and culture three design principles to dampen our natural threat responses, stay open, and channel our disorientation into insight and action.

At a time of profound upheaval, more of us will find ourselves needing to restart.  But moving is costly – not just financially but emotionally. There is a basic principle in healthy ecosystems: resources should always flow to where they are needed most. Career moves are essential for our systems not only to thrive, but to evolve well. So how can we get better at leaving?

What might happen if we let artificial intelligence (AI) become the dominant intelligence in organisations? Drawing on research, expert perspectives and client work, we examine three other forms of intelligence that could partner alongside AI to create wiser and more regenerative ways of working together.

Across our networks leaders are observing a dreamer drain within their organisation: a loss of the capabilities to imagine and believe in a radically better future, and communicate it persuasively. Given how important dreamer capabilities are to the vitality of teams and organisations, how do we create spaces for, and access to these capabilities as they decline within organisations?

What if the way we gathered could make us more connected – not just with each other, but with the communities and ecosystems around us?

We can all make assumptions about those with whom we disagree, but seldom actually encounter. As part of any regenerative learning and organisational development we urgently need to create more equal and powerful encounters with ‘the other’ in ways that bridge divides, build mutual awareness, and seed common ground.

The cost of failing to innovate isn’t just losing market share to more nimble disruptors; it could mean slowing the whole system’s shift to healing people and planet.

Why we’re still using the word “leaders” – and what we really mean when we do

Supporting a coalition to make regenerative agriculture profitable for smallholders in the global south

Inspired by nature, we at Bramble are working to create an organisation that also follows a seasonal pattern and that gives and receives value in healthy reciprocity with those around it.

We founded Bramble to nurture and grow the seeds of a just and sustainable future through radically hopeful, people-centred, place-based work.
