I'm busy writing up my thesis right
now: "Towards
an Ontology and Canvas for Strongly Sustainable Business Models: A Systemic
Design Science Exploration".
Based on my considerable progress over the past 2 months I've just added my third post to the blog of the Strongly Sustainable Business Model Group (SSBMG), an applied research group within OCADU’s Strategic Innovation Lab (sLab) that I helped to co-found.
This new blog post is about one aspect on my thesis:
Based on my considerable progress over the past 2 months I've just added my third post to the blog of the Strongly Sustainable Business Model Group (SSBMG), an applied research group within OCADU’s Strategic Innovation Lab (sLab) that I helped to co-found.
This new blog post is about one aspect on my thesis:
- The Strongly Sustainable Business Model Ontology (SSBMO) and the canvas it “powers” (the SSBMC) asks the right questions of business model designers who are trying to create strongly sustainable business model designs…
- But what, based on the same natural and social science literature of strong sustainability used to identify the questions asked by the SSBMC, are good answers to those questions?
In short:
if you design your business model using the SSBMC, while adhering to the design principles for strongly sustainable organizations, when you measure your business using
the Gold
Standard for Sustainable Business (now known as the Future Fit Business Benchmark), you should find you meet that
standard!
I look forward to responding to your comments on the SSBMG blog... now back to writing!
