We Are Regenerative Change Lab
Â
Cynthia Scott Ph.D M.P.H. and Brad Peirce M.A. have over 50 years of combined experience working with businesses and leaders around the globe to help them adapt and evolve, to navigate change, and to develop their organizational and leadership capacities for sustainability and ESG.
- We have pioneered connecting the human side of change to accelerating positive operational outcomes.Â
- We have created methodologies, models and tools, led teams, written books and toolkits for large scale engagement, innovation and transformation.
- We have generated sustainability policy shifts, designed and facilitated mind-shifting development programs, taught accredited academic courses and have been guides for many leaders, innovators, teams and organizations.
We launched Regenerative Change Lab in January, 2023 as a direct response to, and in service of, what we've discovered:
- We are responding to the rising curiosity about how living systems principles and practices can refresh approaches to navigating change, reenergize sustainability initiatives, enhance wellbeing, develop healthy relationships, improve performance, and create regenerative culture.
- We are responding to our global network of change professionals and leaders working in social innovation, sustainability, climate change, policy formation, and change management who feel exhausted by their surrounding systems.
- We are responding to a broad over reliance on technical solutions for sustainability and an under investment in human development.
- We are responding to a growing desire among changemakers and change leaders for learning experiences and communities that help restore the life of their inner and outer ecosystems.
We have discovered that sustainability, social innovation, change management, and leadership development approaches can be greatly enhanced by instilling living systems principles into change leadership practices in ways that are simple, embodied, and operational.

Regenerative Change.

What we do
We have drawn from our collective experience in corporate sustainability, research, change management, community activation, cross cultural wisdom, stakeholder engagement, individual and team behavior change, coaching, team resilience building, leadership development and organizational culture to weave together a set of core capabilities and competencies for developing Regenerative Change Leaders.
Our work with leaders, teams and larger organizational ecosystems has led us to:
- Refresh our current change thought leadership (models, frameworks, approaches) with living systems principles and application.
- Design and deliver courses, coaching, and consulting services that apply a living systems lens to personal, team and organizational change and transformation.
- Apply practices and tools for change leaders to enhance wellbeing, design healthy relationships and team structures, and unleash their full potential for better performance and thriving cultures.
