Sarah Bergstrom brings a unique perspective to organizational development and strategy, combining 18+ years of healthcare technology and product operations expertise with a deep understanding of how natural systems create resilience, adaptability, and sustainable growth.

She has spend her career at the intersection of complex systems, human behavior, and organizational performance. Her work has given her front-row access to how organizations succeed--or struggle--under pressure, revealing patterns that traditional business metrics often miss. 

From Business Systems to Living Systems

Sarah's journey to creating the Bionomic Method began with a simple observation: the most resilient organizations operate like healthy ecosystems, not machines. 

Drawing on her background in political science, technology and operations, she recognized that sustainable organizational health requires the same principles that govern thriving natural systems, revealing how information flow, adaptation mechanisms, and regenerative practices determine organizational vitality. 

A Personal Connection to Systems Thinking

Sarah's approach to the Bionomic Method is deeply informed by her personal experience with neurodivergence and chronic health conditional, which has given her unique insights into how different types of systems--including human systems--function optimally. Her understanding of cyclical energy, sustainable growth patterns, and the importance of working with natural rhythms rather than against them shapes every aspect of her methodology. 

"I've always had a strong interest in, and connection with nature. I'm drawn to what nature can teach us, especially about intelligent sustainable growth, working with cyclical energy and patterns, and interconnection," Sarah explains. "The Bionomic Method emerged from years of observing how the most successful organizations mirror the principles that make ecosystems thrive."

Creating the Bionomic Method

The Bionomic Method represents the first systematic application of ecological principles to organizational assessment. Sarah developed this approach by identifying five core systems that predict organizational resilience--the same indicators that biologists use to assess ecosystem health. Her assessment tool moves beyond traditional engagement surveys to measure the underlying vitality of human organizations. 

Beyond the Method

When she's not developing organizational assessment tools, Sarah creates and sells living art--terrariums and plant arrangements in reclaimed vessels that bring the wisdom of natural systems into everyday spaces. This work reflects her broader mission: reconnecting humans with the natural principles that foster both individual and collective flourishing. 

Based near Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Sarah is passionate about transforming how we think about organizational health, leadership, effectiveness, and the conditions that allow both people and organizations to thrive sustainable.
