Several months ago, we put out our draft Sustainability Methodology Overview Poster for critical review and feedback via LinkedIn.
…And we received a tremendous response from professionals all over the World:
- Over 25,000+ post impressions
- 300+ comments & observations
- 200+ people sent the working draft
- 150+ professionals reached-out with critical feedback & suggestions
- 80+ new connections
- 20+ one to one conversations
We’d like to thanks all those who gave their valuable time, insights and thinking. Since then, we updated the 18 Sustainability Methodologies Overview poster, taking on-board and applying as much of the feedback and suggestions as possible.
Aims of the overview poster
Oftentimes simply getting an understanding of all the different innovation methodologies, buzz-words and lingo can be confusing and misleading to teams.
We frequently get asked questions around how innovation methods relate to one another.
- When do you typically use a certain method across project life-cycle?
- What do all these methodologies look like more high level?
- Why do you use a particular method at one stage vs another?
- Where are the cross-overs and iteration points?
- Where did we start our project and was it the wrong place?
- Should we move backwards because we are missing some critical knowledge around our assumptions
The methodologies poster helps frame difficult questions and challenging discussions. Teams can then see where they are at, and what kinds of methods might be suitable at any given moment.
Intended outcomes
We hope that you’re inspired to place this methodology overview poster in your digital workspaces and white boards when running a project, so that you can:
- Show how sustainability methodologies loosely interrelate across the innovation or project life-cycles.
- Inspire your teams to develop better sustainability innovation capabilities by seeing the complete picture.
- Learn which kind of tooling is involved at each methodology phase.
- Teams able to make better decisions about what methodology to apply, when and why.
