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 stakeholders that a regenerative organization must invest in to create the conditions for its non-displaceability. In working creatively and developmentally with its stakeholders an organization can increase the value generated throughout the whole ecosystem while creating the conditions for the local economy to flourish.
