Biography

Ines Garcia is Founder and CEO of Get Agile, where she engages with customers around the world to deliver better value and reduce waste.

“We do indeed need to fundamentally transform businesses if we are to live within the limits of this living planet, and ensure that we and all species thrive. Nature’s Blueprint for Business artfully draws together the wisdom from the natural world that can help all businesses to start that critical transformation.”
Erinch Sahan, Business & Enterprise Lead, Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL)  

“This beautiful book illuminates the possibilities that exist all around us, right outside – on the edge of our imagination, on the edge of our organisations, on the edge of our comfort zone. With her characteristic wit and incisive vision, Ines takes us on a wild and rewarding journey of learning to use nature's genius as a guide to build connected, resilient organisations.”
Jess Berliner, Co-founder & Director of Product, Learn Biomimicry

“Inspiring, and thought-provoking. A must-read for anyone looking to redefine the boundaries between innovation and sustainability. Ines Garcia brilliantly combines bio-inspiration and business design, urging us to adopt a new paradigm that harnesses Nature’s wisdom to drive a more sustainable future.”
Francisco Martin-Martinez, Senior Lecturer, King’s College London

“...one of those rare business books that feels both essential and quietly subversive...[Garcia]’s at home with both scientific literature and real-world business case studies, weaving the two together in a way that feels natural and, frankly, overdue. What sets Nature’s Blueprint For Business apart from the usual stack of business books isn’t just its fresh perspective — it’s the humility at its core. Garcia isn’t here to sell you a silver bullet. She’s honest about the messiness of both ecosystems and organizations, and she invites readers to embrace uncertainty rather than control it...For leaders who are tired of rigid formulas and craving something more organic, this book is a breath of fresh air.”
