 * CCT333 Tutorial 6 Wiki Question:**

The process of natural evolution has managed to produce the most complex of organisms. No system, certainly no man made system, has been capable of producing designs in the same level of sophistication as natural selection. It should make sense that nature favors those who are most efficient, effective and fittest. Evolution has no predetermined path or goal. Evolution keeps building on existing designs. Nowadays people are adapting more of nature's designs into businesses and products.

Bio-mimicry is the process in which nature's designs are applied to products and business processes. Nature inspires technological innovation by studying certain animal functions. For example, studying bats sonar signals and applying them to canes for the visually impaired. Another Bio-mimicry advantage is that it replaces toxic chemicals such as applying blood inspired platelets into pipe lines instead of chemicals to fix cracks and leaks.

Most importantly, adopting bi-mimicry techniques in developing business models and products can ultimately be deemed as cost effective. As mentioned before, evolution works through a process called natural selection. Through natural selection, the most adapted organizes to their environment will survive till reproduction age, that means evolution favors and promoted the adaptive, efficient traits. Hundreds of thousands of years later and evolution had resulted complex yet easy to adopt traits. Applying these in businesses can be cost effective in reducing power consumption for example.
