What Could Possibly Go Right?
#88 Janine Benyus: Biomimicry to Inspire and Design Better Systems
Janine Benyus is the co-founder of Biomimicry 3.8 and Biomimicry Institute. She is a biologist, innovation consultant, and author of six books, including Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature. Since the book’s 1997 release, Janine’s work as a global thought leader has evolved the practice of biomimicry from a meme to a movement, inspiring clients and innovators around the world to learn from the genius of nature.
She addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:
- The inspiration we can take from systems in nature for ourselves and communities
- The value of a biomimetic approach to infrastructure development and business operations
- The difference in designing systems for positive output, beyond simply net zero
