An exciting new report by Transform Finance identifies ways Alternative Ownership Enterprises can be spread by entrepreneurs and investors.
“Economic transformation on the scale that today’s crises demand cannot be achieved without a transformation of business itself. [...] We need economies and enterprises that are distributive by design, sharing value, power, and opportunity far more equitably with all involved—throughout their supply chains—in creating that value.”
- Kate Raworth, Author of Doughnut Economics.
Entrepreneurs designing businesses within the limits of the Doughnut have to factor in many things, such as how their products are designed, their contracts with suppliers and how they pay their staff. To enable it to pursue such strategies, it will also need to shape its own enterprise design accordingly - meaning that the governance and ownership structure is fundamental to the success of its purpose.
Transform Finance recently released an important report on enterprise models that best align social impact, governance, and economic value across the enterprise’s stakeholders that make it possible. They refer to these models as Alternative Ownership Enterprises.
In this webinar, Transform Finance will share these models in detail, provide strategies for entrepreneurs who are curious about first steps towards designing Alternative Ownership Enterprises, and provide insight into the nascent but growing investor ecosystem dedicated to mobilizing capital toward these transformative models.
For anyone using Doughnut Economics into the world of businesses, these insights on transforming ownership and governance are essential. In particular, the role of finance in helping or hindering this transformation is central to any journey of enterprise redesign. This webinar is a can’t miss for anyone hoping to transform businesses so they can help humanity into the Doughnut.

After 20+ years in corporate strategy consulting and the tech business, I progressively switched my mindset and practices to supporting organizations in their transformational journey towards eco-social-compatible models. 🍩🌍 I am very inspired by the Doughnut Economics concepts and theory and as an action-oriented person pushing for transformative change, I enjoy guiding organizations through their journey to embrace regenerative and distributive dynamics, thanks to the powerful tools developed by the DEAL. I am an experienced facilitator and trainer of several Fresks (playful, collaborative, and creative workshops that raises awareness on several environmental and social issues) such as The Climate Fresk, The Planetary Boundaries Fresk, The Regenerative Economy Fresk, The Agri-Food Fresk, The Digital Fresk … I am engaged in several local initiatives around regenerative economy in my local area (French Riviera in South of France) to bring these concepts and theory into practice, via experimentation at community level. I am delighted to join this rich and inspiring community to engage in meaningful conversations, learn from you and share insights and practices.
