'Business For Good' Accelerator

In 6 weeks of innovation sprints, this accelerator takes you from idea to impact, fast-tracking you to get results and to do well by doing good.

This accelerator will map your opportunities from a strategic framework, then fast-track you to launch and see impact from one initiative that brings together people, the planet and profit (triple bottom line). Our signature program uses a sprint-based approach, bringing in sustainability expertise, design thinking, innovation, and extensive research to help you do well by doing good.

Why?

  • Innovation sprints, made famous by Google, are a great way to kick start a transformation or experiment with something new in a low-risk way. Plus 5-year transformation plans are boring. This is much more fun.
  • By quickly honing in on one initiative to launch, this program will fast-track you to positive results from triple bottom line opportunities. That will motivate your team to keep up the change.

Format: 3-7 person team from your business (directly and privately, any timezone)
Next available start date: 29 March 2021
Duration: 6 weeks, 4h co-creation workshop each week
Price: Sliding scale dependant on business size/profit status (We’re all about accessibility, so let’s chat - we won’t bite! )

What else?

  • Whichever initiative you launch, it will be backed by a strong strategic foundation, rigorous prioritisation, and a pipeline of opportunities to keep going with after the program.
  • You’ll be experimenting with what it looks like to integrate people and the planet into core business strategy, without having to change everything at once.
  • Your team will leave with an innovation toolbox, useful for many other areas of business so you can continue implementing and creating a culture of embracing change.
