Publisher's Synopsis
We are all living in an unprecedented moment of uncertainty and change. The global pandemic outburst is calling companies, teams, organizations to tap into their deepest resilience resources to survive this essay. Yet, this is also a unique opportunity to unlearn and re-learn, to realign and reshape the way we do business, we manage teams, we live our lives. Nature takes and nature gives back: living organisms, thanks to the unrelenting refinements of the evolutionary process, are exceptional models from which we can learn how to obtain radical increases in efficiency and effectiveness of organizational resources. Some of the solutions presented in this essay have already been tested and have already taken root in current organizations, other are more visionary and innovative. But what the bio-mimetic approach suggests is, in its essence, a new and different perspective through which we can re-envision problems and opportunities. In this book you will find a complete new framework that promotes the type of integrated thinking we'll need more and more in the future. At this level, biomimicry is organizational engineering that becomes architecture, poetry, art. This second edition has been re-edited to better underline key concepts and enriched with the back-of-the-businesscard workshops: short and simple exercises to put biomimicry at work for you now.
