Building Resilient and Meaningful Enterprises with the Sustainability Lens

Abstract

The Sustainability Lens is a paradigm that combines indigenous knowledge, permaculture, solidarity economy and Circles of Sustainability into a four-quadrant tool that works with the Business Model Canvas to build more fun and sustainable solutions into every aspect of one’s enterprise – from start-ups to seasoned industry. It highlights the supply chain, human resource function, product development, marketing and customer relations and compliments approaches such as Lean Launchpad for innovation and Blue Ocean Canvas for value creation.
