Sustainable Organizations
What
makes an
organization
sustainable?
-
First
achieving
Right to Market™
(R2M™)
by
introducing the right products and/or
services at the right time in the right
contexts with the right supply chains, and
then continually updating, optimising, and
retiring them as necessary.
-
Secondly
achieving Right for Market™
(R4M™)
where an organization makes sure that R2M™ does not negatively impact
relevant
ecological or social systems.
In today’s complex and
dynamic environments,
sustainable corporate entrepreneurship and
innovation
capabilities allied with environmental and
social concerns are
clearly critical pre-requisites
for successfully achieving R2M™
and R4M™
and long-term
sustainability.
When an organization is attempting to solve
the difficult problems associated with
organizational sustainability, TLA's
Staff Consultants and Associates have the knowledge and
expertise to contribute
the necessary
theoretical and practical insights that help
ensure a
client's
success.
Emphasis is placed on
the essential role that corporate
entrepreneurship plays in the sustainable
processes required for an
organization's
innovative capacity to be maintained
and for environmental and social factors to
be addressed.
In addition, TLA
helps
clients
understand
that a form of Communities of Practice,
called Communities of Innovation (CoInv),
are the best foundation for sustainable
innovation,
and that
identification of innovation champions and their
influence networks
are
very important
since CoInv thrive best when
they originate from
innovation champions and their networks.
TLA’s fast and effective
methodology (based on Network Visualization &
Analysis)
can
be readily applied
to identify
entrepreneurs and innovation
champions;
to plan and implement the necessary
entrepreneurial processes;
and to develop CoInv. This enables
an organization to quickly
achieve a
systemic broad-based practical “right
for market” strategy grounded in sound
theoretical and practical ideas
for sustainability.
