Innovation inspired by nature

Innovation based on biomimicry methodology makes companies more innovative and sustainable. Biomimetic solutions help companies align with new economies, new leadership principles, and ESG criteria, making them more creative and disruptive while establishing a strong market differentiator.

Our methodology

Our CONSULTING methodology BIOSPRINT(c), an original and exclusive method developed by Amazu, combines Biomimicry Thinking + Systems Thinking + Sprint (Agile) to generate biomimetic INNOVATION within up to 5 days for a challenge presented by the client company. The BIOSPRINT results in an MVP (minimum viable product) to test and validate the DEVELOPED SOLUTION, along with technical support as needed.

In this way, we work on the creation, development, optimization, and improvement of products, processes, and systems.

Another focus of Amazu is PEOPLE and ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE DEVELOPMENT, applying the classic biomimicry methodology along with our original methodologies and tools.

Bioleadership

BIOLEADERSHIP is essential for all leaders, as it promotes a nature-inspired leadership approach, integrating principles of sustainability, resilience, and systemic collaboration. Through training and Team Building practices, we help leaders see organizations as living ecosystems, encouraging practices that benefit both the business and the environment and society. This holistic perspective fosters continuous innovation and adaptation, preparing companies to face complex and dynamic challenges. By adopting bioleadership, organizations can create more responsible, ethical corporate cultures that are attuned to the needs of a constantly changing world.

Our consulting, training, workshops, and lectures, as well as mentorships, are strategically designed to EVOLVE your team and DEVELOP and GROW your business.

A SUSTAINABLE world already exists, and we translate these successful strategies from nature to co-create innovative solutions for your company and leadership teams.

But what is biomimicry?

Biomimicry is the practice of looking to nature for inspiration to solve design problems in a regenerative way. Nature as a model, a measure and a mentor when it comes to innovation.

That way, biomimicry can take its inspiration from the 3.8 billion years of evolution in nature – which is validated every day. It is the perfect bridge between science and the current demands of the world.

Bio means life, mimesis means imitation. Biomimicry is, therefore, a conscious attempt to imitate life’s genius, nature’s genius! Take a look at our presentation at Tedx Mauá to learn more about this type of innovation.
