What is Sustainability? Sustainability addresses three issues: • Maintaining the benefits of a program • Continuing a program • Building the capacity to continue a program Broadly speaking sustainability refers to: “The process of ensuring an adaptive preventive system … can be integrated into ongoing operations to benefit diverse stakeholders.” (Johnson, Hayes, Center, & Daley, 2004, p. 137)
Key Issues in Sustainability • Sustainability is an ongoing dynamic process • Sustainability is an adaptive process • Sustainable innovation is integrated into normal operations and requires adequate infrastructure capacity • Sustainable innovation should have proven benefit to diverse stakeholders • Sustainability requires commitment and support: Champions Decision-makers Stakeholders Workers Source: Johnson, Hayes, Center, & Daley, 2004
