THE BIO-LEADERSHIP SYSTEM PROJECTS
Our System Projects are about guiding people on journeys to help change whole systems.
This could mean a sector, a place, or a field of work. We invite ideas for new working group inquiries from across our ecosystem, as well as developing our own.
Each System Project is steered by one of our practice team and partners from the sector, bringing their group together in ways that unearth new thinking and practical ways forward.
To find out more about our System Projects, check out our Human Development System Project.
We are actively exploring what new System Projects to work on, do get in touch if you would like to know more.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES
How we know it’s
Bio-Leadership…
It looks at things as living systems.
It cares for life.
It trusts that something special happens when we walk through a forest.
It’s honest about our ecological emergency.
It balances different ways of knowing, with head, hands, body and heart.
It works from the ground-up, understanding circularity, regeneration and localism
It knows that we hear each other better when we cook together and sit around the fire.
It gives space to be human - to feel all of the tensions and emotions of the messy and urgent times we live in.
It values spacious qualities, vulnerability and inquiry.
It knows autumn and winter are just as important as spring and summer.
It uses inquiry and experimentation as tools for complexity.
It is revolutionary.
It looks to lessons and ideas from across time and cultures.
It recognises that life is a miracle, something to take care of, for ourselves and many others.
