Systems-level change can only happen when government, business and community work together to solve shared problems. Competent, eco-literate and confident employees are a pre-requisite.
We’re assuming that: It’s only reasonable to ask employees to innovate on things they know something about. That every organisation’s plans must take account of what’s happening in the world. Understanding the basics of sustainability is an essential foundation World Economic Forum Risk Landscapes, 2012
We’re also assuming that: • Organisations wanting to build resilience at speed and scale need to work with their pioneers and early adopters • and that: • To do this, they need to the names of the people in their organisation who already gets sustainability AND innovation Everett Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation model Image: Wikipedia
we acknowledge thatlong term security comes from working within the rules of nature and scienceand that short term security is derived from compliance with the rules of organisations and society
The Triple Context Getting people, planet & purpose integrated into the design of our services and moving away from incremental change and measuring the damage when it’s done
10 successfully reach wrong goals R10: the real 10/10 we always have a choice about where we focus our thoughts and actions Performance legal minimum, political maximum good intentions, low impact 1 Reality • Rules Focus
The route that different individuals or organisations need to take to reach R10 outcomes depends on where they’re starting from. Businesses that are good at shipping products and goods need to be build awareness of alternative models and context. Organisations that have insight but low experience of making change happen need to build the skills and ‘how to’ of influence and change. R10: The Real 10/10 BUILD AWARENESS 10 ✓ successfully reach the wrong goals Performance BUILD AWARENESS AND IMPACT BUILD IMPACT knowing what’s needs doing, without the power to enable change ✓ ✓ compliance-driven box ticking 1 Rules Reality Focus of effort
R10 people ask different questions such as: • What risks and opportunities lie ahead? • Where is best sustainability best practice in other sectors today? • What ecosystem of partners to I need needed to accelerate a shift towards resilience? What can I do to speed up our learning and evolution
iCAT: finding and developing the people who make the difference
iCAT: four key steps 4 TRANSFORMATION CONVERSATIONS
1. What % of global GDP is dependent on the health of our ecosystems2. What temperature range are UK climate agencies predicting is more than 50% likely by 2050? Step 1: quantitative questions
1. What are the biggest sustainable innovations that you have seen in the last twelve months?2. If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would be top of your sustainability to-do list? Step 1b: qualitative questions
Step 2: results Step 3: resources
iCAT generates personal innovation profiles for individuals, teams and whole organisations, rated for four key areas of sustainability iCAT Sustainable Innovation A 64 B C D E F G
Scores are created for individual areas of knowledge such as: Food - security, justice, localisation, diet, nutrition and health Carbon - energy balance, climate, mitigation, renewables Resources - closed loop, resource scarcity, products / services Nature - ecosystem services, species loss, adaptation
