Nine lessons for Sustainable Innovators
- Integrating sustainability into innovation processes takes time
- Sustainable Innovation (SI) needs a business focus
- SI requires organisational design e.g. systems, structures and rewards
- Creativity is essential
- Raising internal awareness of SI is important
- Making SI happen requires resilient internal change-makers/catalysts
- SI oriented intrapreneurship approaches are starting to emerge
- Moving to higher levels of SI may move companies out of their ‘comfort zones’
- ‘Open’ SI new business models are still in the early stages of development
