Year 1: Catalyzing Healthy Stakeholder Ecosystems
This series is structured around the Stakeholder Pentad—a systemic framework introduced by Carol Sanford in her book The Responsible Business. It depicts the key business stakeholders that a regenerative business must invest in, in order to create the conditions for its non-displaceability. In working creatively and developmentally with its stakeholders a business increases the value generated throughout the whole ecosystem while creating the conditions for the local economy to flourish.
