How to act on sustainability: bringing design and innovation together

We have an ‘action gap’ with sustainability. As reported by the Financial Times only one in ten executives feel they have an ‘actionable’ sustainability strategy. This article argues that this can be addressed by taking sustainability out of its silo and into the organisation as a whole. To do this we need to also move from accounting and measuring to innovation and implementation.

These three velocities allow organisations to tap into different energies, timescales and paces of change to be able to navigate the volatile times we live in. 

In this first article out of three, we will focus on the first of these velocities – understand. Why is it needed, what is its value and what are the key activities we propose. We will add some examples from practice and define the role we think design should play.
