Speaking

Speaking and executive sessions

Stuart J. Green speaks and works with leadership teams facing a condition most frameworks ignore: the previous model is structurally obsolete and there is no prior state worth restoring. Every session applies REGENERATE, an original three-phase, ten-step methodology informed by professional experience, ecological thinking and organisational research.

In brief

Keynote, board session, executive workshop or podcast. Audiences: CEOs, boards, founders and institutional leadership teams. Enquiries: hello@regenerateleap.com.

Who the sessions are for

Leadership teams managing compound disruption: a market that will not return, a funding model that has ended, a programme or organisation whose original design no longer fits the conditions it operates in. Past audiences include institutional boards, government and donor-funded programmes, ocean and blue-economy leaders, founders and executive education cohorts.

Formats

FormatLengthWhat it covers
The Regenerate Leap keynote45 to 60 minutesWhy resilience fails under irreversible change, the resilience versus regeneration distinction, and the REGENERATE method in outline. Q&A included.
Board or executive-team sessionHalf dayEach participant completes the 13-question Operating Model Fitness Index (OMFI) before the session. The results inform a facilitated RAZE, ENRICH and GROW discussion around one live organisational decision. The team leaves with a named position on what to stop, what to build and who decides.
Executive workshopOne dayThe full ten steps applied to the organisation's operating model, with a written protocol for the next 90 days. Limited to one leadership team per session.
Podcast and long-form interview30 to 90 minutesCrisis leadership, polycrisis, the science of regeneration in natural systems, and the method's origin.

What a session contains

Each session starts from the leadership team's condition, not from a slide deck. The first hour establishes whether the situation is a disruption to absorb or a baseline shift to design for. That distinction decides everything that follows. The remainder applies the method: what to decommission, what capacity the new conditions demand, and what to build first. Sessions end with decisions written down, owners named, and a date to review.

Speaking, workshops and advisory

Sessions booked through this site are built around the book and the REGENERATE leadership method. They are distinct from longer institutional work.

  • Book keynotes. The Regenerate Leap keynote for conferences, leadership events and executive audiences.
  • Leadership and executive workshops. The method applied with one leadership team to its own operating model.
  • Board and executive sessions. A half-day working session against one live decision.
  • Longer institutional advisory. Institutional advisory, ocean strategy and professional experience are set out at stuartjgreen.me and agreed separately.

Booking a keynote, workshop or session does not include an advisory commission. For organisations that want an initial self-assessment, the Operating Model Fitness Index is hosted on The Regenerate Framework website.

Where the method comes from

REGENERATE is an original methodology informed by professional experience, ecological thinking and organisational research. It draws on observations of how natural systems regenerate after catastrophic disturbance, applied as a leadership method to organisations whose previous model no longer fits. These sources shaped its development; they do not constitute formal validation. Stuart has over 30 years of experience in marine systems science and is a former board member of the Marine Stewardship Council and Blue Ventures.

Engagements and fees

Every engagement is shaped around the audience, the institutional context and the outcomes required.

Keynotes, executive workshops and board sessions are scoped individually, with fees and arrangements agreed in advance.

About Stuart J. Green

When the old playbook no longer works and there is no prior state worth restoring, most leadership frameworks have nothing to offer. Stuart J. Green's REGENERATE methodology was built for that condition: compound disruption where recovery is not an option. Drawing on 30 years of marine systems science, including professional work across Asia-Pacific, Africa and Europe, he provides institutional leaders with enforceable strategy for what comes next.

Stuart J. Green is the author of The Regenerate Leap and founder of Blue-Green Advisors, an independent ocean strategy and institutional advisory firm. Former board member of the Marine Stewardship Council and Blue Ventures.
