GROWTH

Growth is intrinsic to all living things. From the cellular level, through to plants, animals and individuals, all the way through to the organisations and communities to which we are connected. As living beings, we are hardwired toward growth.

Growth, like change, is inevitable and multidirectional. Also, like change, growth can be positive or negative and intentional or unintentional.

Growth without wisdom neglects the bigger picture. Without the presence of wisdom, our understanding of the intergenerational impacts of our actions on people, the planet and long-term profitability is severely limited.

CoPlantation
We are B2B specialists focusing on strategy, innovation and brand. We provide food industry clients with the reach, agility and flexibility to achieve growth.

Wisdom

We apply wisdom to our work by always taking a systems approach to growth. We build solutions localised to the content and to the interdependencies within a system.

We define the application of wisdom as the courage to use the appropriate knowledge with compassion in the context of your playing field.

We apply wisdom in our work by cultivating four interconnected and interdependent disciplines.

Awareness: cultivating an understanding of the context and the interdependencies of the playing field. 

Knowledge: accessing the appropriate skills and capabilities to define and solve problems for said context.

Experience: the time and effort needed to validate and grow our awareness and knowledge of the playing field.

Leadership: the willingness to lead others towards shared outcomes.

Underpinning and upholding these disciplines are two values integral to the cultivation and application of wisdom.

Compassion: the willingness to fulfil our duty of care for present and future generations.

Courage: the willingness to embrace the complexity and ambiguity of a systems approach.

In the end, wisdom enables us to understand the true intergenerational impact of our actions, allowing for the collaboration of ideas leading to smarter decisions and greater outcomes for all.
