About this title

Synopsis

Impact Business Design will be the new standard for developing sustainable business models. The playbook contains a holistic organizational model that is suitable for all organizations (as the systems can be adapted). It enables a differentiation between the status quo and what the social and ecological ideal of the organization should be.

This book offers the opportunity to explain and develop the driving patterns and motives of an organization and provides extensive methods and tools for immediate use. Every company needs to make a significant turnaround now and in the coming years. Impact business design is the method for shaping this.

At its core, every turnaround is about perception. The moment you change your perception is the beginning of your tipping points. A future turnaround requires a new collective understanding of the values that drive us, which manifests itself in changed behavior and new results.

This book offers perspectives on how to think, feel, and act in the future. It draws attention to the relevant questions about the future. Readers provide the answers and design their future. They create a new and sustainable framework for the sustainable development of their organization. It demonstrates how an organization can be strategically developed to become sustainable for future generations. In other words, it ensures the organization's ability to thrive in the 21st century.

This playbook invites you on a journey to examine and evolve collective patterns where they no longer meet the demands of our era. It is structured into three main parts: the check-in, the transition, and the check-out. The transition is further divided into three phases, which encompass 13 steps. These steps are undertaken in three phases:

-- 1st phase: Transparency: preparation for crossing boundaries

-- 2nd phase: Transcendence: transition to a new level

-- 3rd phase: immanence: stability at a new level.
