The Introduction to regenerative business
is a 100% online course over 8 weeks,
created by 4 partner organisations
Regenerative businesses are designed, organised and run as living systems,
respecting planetary boundaries and social foundations.
They create the conditions for living systems to express their full potential.
A Triple Approach
Business
The logic of continuous growth is incompatible with planetary boundaries. Profitability is not the only measure of success. Optimisation can be designed from life-enhancing criteria.
Culture
The challenges ahead demand a cultural revolution, on both individual and collective levels. Let’s strengthen our discernment to change how we do things and unite.
Place
Successful adaptation is necessarily systemic, collective and rooted in place.
Course Content
5 Modules of 45 minutes
The content is designed with careful attention to pacing, the gradual development of learning, and editorial rigor:
- Concrete case studies of companies that have embarked on the path towards regeneration.
- Practical tools that provide a methodology to challenge the traditional business paradigm and cultivate regenerative businesses.
4 Live Sessions of 90 minutes
Live sessions to interact with the community in plenary and smaller groups:

- Propel the questioning process a step further on your business model, team, and yourself.

I really enjoyed this journey, which resonated very strongly with convictions I’ve had for a long time, consolidated them and made me feel less alone! I really appreciated this reconnection to living principles, and the fact that a course for business finally dared to speak about leaving volumetric growth behind, that dared to ask real questions.
The content, format, design and reflection that we were encouraged to have was all of a level I've never seen in previous training sessions I've participated in. Bravo, it's a real success, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the community will evolve.
A subtle blend of social sciences and hard science that drives action toward new economic paradigms. The times of exchange are extremely valuable, and the resulting community can become a true force for transformation. The predominant emotion: gratitude. My key realisations: the principles of suboptimality, interdependence, and limited growth.
Butterfly School changes our way of thinking, amplifies our regenerative ambition, brings structure to our action, in short, influences how we see the world. The further we get into the course, the more the concepts and principles presented seem like everyday tools to address any situation, professional or personal, and in a very concrete way.

FAQ
What is the level of personal investment required to follow the course?
The Introduction to Regenerative Business runs over 8 weeks, with 5 video modules (weeks 1,2,3, 5 and 7) and 4 live sessions (weeks 2, 4 and 8). Based on our initial cohorts, we estimate an average investment of 60 – 90min per week.
Is the course schedule fixed, or can I adapt it to my work pace?
The modules are gradually unlocked over the course of the 8 weeks to ensure a coherent progression. Once the video content is unlocked, it is available at any time on the EdApp learning platform. Recordings of live sessions are also available on EdApp.
Are the live sessions recorded?
Recordings are available on the EdApp learning platform at the lastest 48 hours after the live sessions.
Can I still access the course content after the program ends?
The course content (videos, live session recordings, presentation materials) is available for six months following the end of your cohort.
Do the Butterfly course award diplomas?
The Butterfly course does not award diplomas. However, a certificate of completion is sent at the end of the course. This is an official document that can be shared with your organisation (e.g. HR, accountant, manager) to confirm your participation in the course. Please note that to receive the certificate of completion, participants must complete the final evaluation (available at the start of week 8) within 4 months of finishing the program. We also offer each participant the opportunity to complete a personalised certificate at the end of the course. This format allows participants to share with their networks how they have developed during the course and next steps towards applying their learning within their organisations.
I am either self-employed, seeking employment or employee of a company. How can I finance the course?
AXA Climate is a Qualiopi-certified training organisation. If your company is based in France or the European Union, it can receive financial support for part or all of the training costs from an OPCO (Skills Operator).
