Regenerative Business Paradigm Assessment
Paradigm Assessment 0% complete

UNDERSTAND THE PARADIGMS YOUR ORGANISATION IS BUILT UPON

A reflection tool, not a report card

Every organisation stands on a foundation of paradigms—the beliefs and practices that structure how you operate, make decisions, create value, and treat people and planet. Most of the time, that foundation stays invisible. You move forward without seeing what's holding you up.

This assessment unearthes what's underneath. Across seven dimensions of your business, it reveals the paradigms that form your actual operating ground—where you genuinely are and where you're moving toward.

The result is clarity: an honest picture of your foundation. Where it's strong. Where it's shifting. What becomes possible when you understand what you're actually built from.

The Six Paradigms

Business as Usual
Profit and growth drive decisions. Other considerations are secondary.

Green Growth
Growth continues, but with sustainability features and reduced harm.

Net Zero
Measurement and targets become systematic. Harm reduction and neutrality drive strategy.

Point of Sustainability
Social and ecological wellbeing are weighed equally with commercial returns.

Net Positive
Operations create positive impact. Value flows beyond just shareholders.

Regenerative
Life-serving. Operations restore more than they take. Ecosystems strengthen through your work.

These six paradigms are not stages on a ladder. Most organisations are active in several at once, and moving to regenerative is a transition of its own, not simply the next step. The wheel shows where your energy is today, and how deeply.

For each paradigm that describes something you actually do, mark how far along you are. The result is a single picture: colour deepens with practice, from the palest tint of an aspiration to full, bold colour where a paradigm is intrinsic to who you are.

It takes 12 to 15 minutes. Your answers save automatically on this device, so you can pause and come back.

Section 1 of 7

Select what fits. Mark how far.

Read each description. If it sounds like something your organisation actually does, mark how far along you are:

Aspiring ~0–10% — your intention, not yet lived practice
Exploring ~10–40% — actively trying it out
Operating ~40–75% — a substantial part of how you work
Established ~75–95% — the way we do things here
Intrinsic ~95–100% — impossible to imagine doing it differently

You're marking what proportion of your actual operations this represents, not whether it's a good paradigm. Be honest. Most organisations operate across multiple paradigms in different areas; that's real.
