Sparkenations for sustainability

extracts from keynote addressfor The Association for Sustainability in Business Inc.

2012 conference"Taking Care of Business:

Sustainable Transformation"http://sustainabilitybusiness.com.au

What I say is not as important as

What you hear yourself say to yourself.

What I provide is sparkenationsa spark that ignites passionthat leads to actionthat changes whatʼs normal

Stop beinglike everyone else

Strategic positioning:Doing what others don’t do

or doing what others dobetter, differently, or more uniquely,

and segmentation(niche/s, micro-niche/s)

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

Do your workchange what’s normal

We have massively over-complicatedsustainability and

consequently confusion reigns

There are all sorts of views about sustainability.Is itsmoke and mirrors?philanthropy?a fad that will soon be gone?a government promise that will soon be broken?a nice-to-have?a great idea we can’t afford?for tree-huggers?

We have built walls in the wayof sustainability instead of bridges to sustainability

In my life time society has

become part of the economy

and peopleand our planet

have beenpushed tothe outer

Successdepends on

where intention is

What’s your reason for being in business?

Start with WhySimon Sinek When we understand

the WHYthe HOW is easy!

Friedrich Nietzsche

Values on the wallare lived in the hall

Vision is an authenticand compelling story

How compelling is your story?

Strategy execution plans have been

cascaded down to and are owned by

teams and individuals

Structure is based onvalue delivery roles

and people are matched to roles
