About this listen

Regen on Purpose is a podcast for leaders who sense that sustainability alone isn’t enough.


Hosted by Karen Gray, the podcast explores what it really takes to move from sustainability to regeneration — designing and delivering systems that become healthier over time.


Drawing on three decades of experience in delivery leadership, people development, and transformation, each episode looks at why change often struggles to hold, and how leadership decisions, delivery choices, and learning environments shape long-term outcomes.


This is a space for thoughtful conversations about building what lasts — for people, organisations, and the planet — without hype, jargon, or quick fixes.

  • Episode 3 - Practical Regeneration Framework™ - Moving Beyond Sustainability in Practice
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode of Regen on Purpose, Karen Gray introduces The Practical Regeneration Framework™ — a practical leadership lens refined through years of leading complex programme and project delivery.

    This episode explores five structural shifts that move organisations beyond compliance into lasting strength:

    • Extending the time horizon beyond launch
    • Designing better delivery conditions
    • Aligning incentives with long-term performance
    • Building distributed capability
    • Protecting organisational vitality

    Drawing on examples from retail, manufacturing, technology, and consumer brands, this episode connects regenerative thinking directly to commercial reality.

    If you’re a leader navigating sustainability, ESG, transformation, or complex delivery environments, this episode offers a grounded, practical approach to building systems that strengthen over time.

    Regeneration isn’t an initiative.
    It’s a shift in leadership attention.

  • Episode 2 - Regenerative Delivery in Practice
    Feb 11 2026

    In this episode, Karen shares a real project she was involved in — not as a case study, but as a lived example of how everyday delivery decisions shape what actually lasts.

    Starting with a college café replacing single-use plastic packaging, the episode explores what it takes to move from sustainability intent to regenerative delivery in practice. From compostable packaging and closed-loop thinking to the often invisible work that happens after go-live, Karen reflects on why some initiatives quietly endure while others fade away.

    This project wasn’t perfect, fast, or headline-grabbing — and it’s still running today. But it shows how systems, behaviours, and long-term impact change when delivery decisions are made with people, place, and reality in mind.

    If you’ve ever delivered a project that technically worked — but felt fragile afterwards — this episode is for you.

  • Episode 1 - From Sustainability To Regeneration
    Feb 4 2026

    Sustainability has helped organisations reduce harm, improve efficiency, and bring ESG and responsibility into leadership conversations.

    But even when sustainability programmes are delivered well, lasting change doesn’t always follow.

    In this opening episode of Green On Purpose, Karen Gray explores why sustainability initiatives can still feel fragile — why change doesn’t always stick, teams feel fatigued, and the same challenges return in different forms.

    The episode introduces regeneration as a practical leadership and systems-thinking lens, examining how organisations can move beyond reducing harm to building healthier, more resilient systems over time.

    Using real-world examples from retail, local government, and finance, this episode looks at how regenerative thinking reshapes decisions, strengthens long-term value, and supports transformation that endures beyond go-live.

    This episode is ideal for leaders working in sustainability, ESG, transformation, organisational change, and systems leadership who are ready to explore what comes after sustainability.
