Three years ago, during the COVID-19 pandemic, I purchased the Cliff House nested in rock formations – thus the name – by the edge of the water on the island of Bornholm. It needed much work in terms of modernizing. Despite having no prior experience in house renovation or living in a remote location like the northern coast of Bornholm, I felt a deep soul yearning guiding me onto this journey. I never once felt afraid or uncertain, even as I embarked on a vastly different path. This intuitive knowing and enthusiasm were fueled by the feeling that the house and grounds were calling me home. I’ve come to call this process ‘self-seeding,’ inspired by the columbine flowers that self-distribute… Read more »

Business leaders often face the dilemma that without a change in the playing field and in the rules of engagement there are limitations to transforming the game. How do we move away from the outdated degenerative patterns of a zero-sum game of winners and losers, in which “winning” is a short-term “success” because we are degrading the patterns that sustain life on Earth? How do we move towards patterns that are truly regenerative by design which change our “game” towards the win-win-win patterns by which life has created conditions conducive to life for 3.8 billion years? This is the focus when Sustainable Leadership Network meet next on January 20, 2021 where Daniel C. Wahl, Transformative Innovation consultant, author of Designing… Read more »

Published in Australia’s premiere Health, Environment and Wellbeing Magazine WRITTEN BY TERRY ROBSON JULY 30, 2020 Environment  I  Health  I  Wellness  I  Life  I  Planet   Corporate. Social. Responsibility. Three words that, each on their own, are perfectly intelligible but, until recently, when placed together as a phrase became like something from a Lewis Carroll poem: nonsense. “Corporate social responsibility” as a phrase has been as oxymoronic as “gourmet cheese in a can”, “wise lycra fashion choices” or “must-see reality TV”. Today, however, corporate social responsibility (CSR) not only makes perfect sense, it is imperative to our way forward as a society. What is it? In truth, corporate social responsibility is about engaging with reality, the reality of the nature of a corporation…. Read more »

  by SANDJA BRÜGMANN, Originally published in Conscious Company Media. “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” – R. Buckminster Fuller The future of work encourages whole human beings to move toward their highest soulful potential. This requires a drastic redesign of organizations, how we work, and what we recognize as success. It calls on us to move away from control, manipulation, and fear toward cultures that support and foster personal growth, freedom, autonomy, and blossoming of the individual. Leaders operate their businesses within an increasingly complex context of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity). They must navigate resource scarcity, economic polarity, the speed of technological… Read more »

  by Chantell Haines Today’s companies are being tasked with the impossible: How can we make money for our shareholders, pay our employees well, and positively impact the environment and society as a whole? The purpose of a business used to be specifically to increase value for the shareholders. While this still clearly holds importance today, there is a growing pressure to expand this value to all stakeholders, and the perception of value is changing. Consumers and investors are demanding that value be created by more than just profit, that it be created by authenticity, transparency and trust. Companies are being challenged to figure out how to do this. Every single industry needs to redefine how it operates in order… Read more »

Der er forretningsfordele i bæredygtige initiativer. Men hvilke initiativer, skal din virksomhed tage, og hvad kræver det af ledelsen? Skrevet af Stine Bjerre Herdel, F5 Lidl gør det, H&M gør det, Sticks&Sushi gør det, Aarstiderne gør det, Irma gør det, og mange, mange andre virksomheder i verden gør det: De tager initiativer i forretningen, der går i en mere bæredygtig retning – og de tjener penge på det. Faktisk er det kun et spørgsmål om tid, før alle virksomheder i et eller andet omfang er nødt til at tænke emner som socialt ansvar, miljø og klima ind i deres forretningsmodel. Det synspunkt kommer til udtryk i udtalelser fra en lang række globale virksomheder – og det støttes også herhjemme af blandt andre Morten Lehmann, CSR-chef… Read more »
