Innovation
The future isn’t just about managing risk, it’s about innovating new
and alternative market solutions and services that will engage and
inspire customers, employees, investors and future generations.
SustainAbility helps clients calibrate risks, but also guides and facilitates engagement and analysis to
explore societal problems and issues as the source of business opportunities.
What We Do
Depending on a client's starting point, we either take them
through an Issue Management appraisal to help them understand the
current situation, or we help them take a more innovation focused approach.. Key
elements include:
Research and interviews with relevant executives and managers to
understand perceptions of the challenges and opportunities, and
thinking around innovation and criteria for success / investment.
Identification of the key stakeholders who can bring fresh
perspectives to the table to contribute to and catalyse thinking, and
an assessment of their appetite for engagement.
We then devise and facilitate a process for creative stakeholder
inputs, with clear criteria to help short-list solutions. Where a detailed
investment / business case for any solution is needed, we tend to
partner with an expert consultancy.
The output identifies options for innovation within a clear set
of agreed criteria. The process also builds trust and credibility with
key stakeholders beyond the immediate exercise.
Further Information
A number of our reports may be helpful. For example:The 21st Century NGO describes the future partnership role of NGOs in helping business innovate solutions for the future. Gearing Up: From Corporate Responsibility to Good Governance and Scalable Solutions
highlights in a step-by-step way the role that public policy and
government relations can play in framing and enabling business
innovation.
Our project with BT plc looked at sustainable solutions that could be offered by the ICT sector.
