S3 Ep. 9 Lucía Hernandez – Regenerative Platform Models: What do we mean?

Lucía is an expert in Platform Economy and New Emerging Trends. She has been working with organizations of all types in applying platform-ecosystems strategies. She has participated in research with global organizations and helped to design public policies related to short rental accommodation within the European Commission, IDB, and some local governments.    In the last two years, Lucía has been studying the intersections between regenerative design and platform design in order to help public and private organizations in adopting a regenerative platform-ecosystem mindset.   In this conversation, we delve into the roots of regenerative thinking and why the movement is gaining momentum. It was fascinating to learn from Lucía’s expertise about what we can learn from nature, how regenerative thinking is a process – not a goal, redefining ‘abundance’, and some new organizations that are emerging in the platform economy.     A full transcript of the episode can be found on our website:  https://boundaryless.io/podcast/lucia-hernandez/     Key highlights we discussed: > What is regenerative thinking and where does it come from? > Lucía’s six key principles of regenerative design > The ultimate aim of the regenerative thinking movement > The role of place-based economies > The abundance versus scarcity mindset > Community wealth and investing     To find out more about Lucía’s work:   > Twitter: https://twitter.com/luciahdez3    > Website: https://luciahernandez.co/  > Lucía Hernandez, Regenerative Platform Design Principles: https://luciahernandez.co/2021/12/15/regenerative-platform-design-principles/  > Lucía Hernandez, Regenerative Platform Business Models- The next generation of platforms: https://luciahernandez.co/2021/04/26/regenerative-platform-business-models/  > TEDx talk on regenerative tourism (in Spanish): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qqoTXOr--U&ab_channel=TEDxTalks   Other references and mentions:   > Buckminster Fuller (1970).
