About NI-academy
Knowledge Powered by Nature: learning from the way nature organises itself
For almost four billion years nature has been working on a single question: how does a system hold its ground in conditions that never stop changing? We translate that answer to organisations.
NI-academy is founded on the principle that the solutions to many of our contemporary challenges can be found in the way nature is organised. By drawing on Nature's Intelligence (NI), we offer an innovative learning experience that fosters resilience, adaptability and sustainability.
We translate NI into practical applications within organisations and personal development. In this way, participants learn how to apply natural systems to find innovative and sustainable solutions that not only advance the success of their business, but also contribute to a resilient and sustainable future.
You will find more information about the approach of NI-academy in our full range of courses.
Our approach
What we take from nature
-
Resilience
Natural systems do not avoid disturbance, they absorb it. An organisation built along those lines comes out of change holding more than it brought in.
-
Adaptability
What endures in nature is rarely the strongest, but whatever adjusts fastest to new conditions. That calls for a short distance between knowing and doing.
-
Sustainability
In a natural system, one organism's residue is another's raw material. That principle translates directly into supply chains, products and business models.
