The machine
The logic
Linear and rigid. Problems are repaired in isolation.
The goal
Maximum efficiency and short-term output.
The human being
A cog in the machine that has to work.
The leadership
Control, pressure, and micromanagement.
The result
Wear and tear, silo thinking, and burnout.
The garden
The logic
Cyclical and interconnected. Everything is connected to everything else.
The goal
Resilience and long-term returns.
The human being
A part of the ecosystem that is unfolding.
The leadership
Observation, care and framework conditions.
The result
Regeneration, innovation, and growth.
Understand
We delve deep into the 12 principles of permaculture. How does a healthy ecosystem function? How does a forest regulate itself? How does it utilize its edges for innovation?
We transfer this knowledge directly to your company culture and translate the insights into modern strategic work. Regenerative leadership becomes a clear design task here.
Develop
We take the complexity out of your head and into your hands. With our PLAYtoGROW method and the Infinity Tools, we model your organization on the table.
We build three-dimensional structures of your teams. We visualize invisible energy flows and blockages. You no longer discuss problems abstractly. You understand the dynamics of your company and create lasting solutions.
Earth
Together, we create regenerative elements on site. A raised bed. A team of plants. The principle becomes crystal clear using the example of the fruit tree community: A tree never stands alone. It is deliberately surrounded by partner plants that fertilize, protect, and connect. Together, we plant a system that strengthens itself through its diversity, instead of competing.
Within the system: Before we act, we read the landscape.
In leadership: You learn to stop blind activism. We train your perception of the subtle dynamics within your culture. You recognize patterns before they become problems. Those who observe better have less to fight for.
Within the system: Mixed crops are healthier than monocultures.
In leadership: We show you how to break down silos. You learn to design teams so that human diversity becomes a superpower. We move away from solitary IQ towards collective WeQ. Cooperation isn't mandated; it grows organically through smart design.
Within the system: A healthy forest doesn't need a manager.
In leadership: The path out of micromanagement. You develop a framework within which your team can self-organize and correct itself. Your goal is to make yourself redundant in day-to-day operations. This frees up space for genuine strategy and vision.

The development companion
For over 20 years, Achim has worked where change begins: in perception. He's not a typical consultant, but a mentor for your human potential. With his expertise in neuroscience, he helps you release your inner brakes. He guides you from being a lone wolf to becoming a shaper of a culture where people surpass themselves.
Agnes Friedrich & Denny Ehrlich
The system designers
The founding duo of Solarpunk NOW put the method into your hands. Agnes (permaculture designer) and Denny (systems innovator) ensure that strategy becomes tangible. With PLAYtoGROW, we experience together how to playfully master complexity and design systems that deliver long-term returns without burning out.
Appointments
For the workshop series "Company as Garden", we cooperate with the educational association PeKubi.

Just a sneak peek
Together with author and publisher Lisa Vanovitch, Agnes Friedrich has created a book that bridges the gap between business and permaculture. It's business literature without the "management jargon." Lisa provides the practical language for regenerative leadership, while Agnes offers the visionary illustrations that visualize circular thinking.
A book for everyone who no longer wants to be trapped in the system, but would like to shape it like a gardener .
