RegenTech: Embracing Bill Sharpe’s Three Horizons Framework for a Sustainable Future.

The Regenerative Revolution (Final)

In a world where technological advancements and innovative terms are coined daily, it’s peculiar that the term “RegenTech” has yet to surface. However, the concept is steadily emerging, and it’s about time we give it the attention it deserves. RegenTech represents the crucial bridge within Bill Sharpe’s Three Horizons Framework, connecting Horizon One (business as usual) and Horizon Three (the future we desire). As a disruptive force in Horizon Two, RegenTech has the potential to reshape our world for the better by marrying technology and regenerative principles.

Bill Sharpe’s Three Horizons Framework

To better understand the role of RegenTech, it’s essential to revise Bill Sharpe’s Three Horizons Framework. This model is a powerful tool for strategic thinking and innovation that helps organizations navigate complex and uncertain futures. It comprises three interconnected horizons:

Horizon One (H1): The present, where businesses and institutions operate under the current dominant paradigm.

Horizon Two (H2): The transition zone, where emerging innovations challenge and disrupt the existing systems.

Horizon Three (H3): The desired future, where new practices and paradigms have replaced the old, leading to more sustainable and regenerative systems.

Building Bridges: How RegenTech Connects Two Paradigms

Bridges are constructed by combining efforts from both sides of a divide. In this case, RegenTech bridges the divide between two paradigms: the unstoppable force of technology (the “technium”) and the regenerative paradigm that seeks to embrace and sustain us.

The “technium,” as defined by Kevin Kelly, refers to the self-reinforcing system of technologies, cultural practices, and social institutions that collectively propel human progress. This force is reaching out to meet the regenerative paradigm, much like the telescope once drove the Copernican revolution.

Defining Syntropy and the Regenerative Paradigm

The regenerative paradigm embodies the concept of syntropy, which stands in opposition to entropy. While entropy represents the natural tendency towards disorder and decay, syntropy refers to the process by which living systems organize and renew themselves, ultimately contributing to life’s continued existence and growth.

In the context of RegenTech, syntropy signifies a new emergent paradigm that thrives according to the patterns and principles of living systems. By embracing syntropy, RegenTech aims to regenerate entropy and create life-affirming conditions for all.

RegenTech: A Syntropic Technium

The technium, in its unstoppable momentum, now aligns with the patterns and principles of living systems to create a syntropic force. As the technium and syntropy intertwine, they lay the foundation for a bridge that will carry us from Horizon One, through the disruption of Horizon Two, and into a thriving Horizon Three. This fusion of technological progress and regenerative principles represents the essence of RegenTech.

RegenTech is not merely a new buzzword; it’s a call to action. We must actively pursue the development and implementation of technologies and systems that adhere to the principles of syntropy and regeneration. Only by doing so can we bridge the gap between our current reality and the sustainable, life-affirming future we envision.

Conclusion

As we continue to innovate and develop new technologies, it’s imperative to recognize the potential of RegenTech as a catalyst for positive change. RegenTech is the bridge to a regenerative paradigm, the future where both humanity and our planet thrive. The time to embrace and invest in RegenTech is now; our collective future depends on it. Let’s build the bridge together, ensuring a brighter tomorrow for generations to come.
