From Open Sustainability
Here at open-sustainability we are developing a free collaborative governance standard for sustainability. This standard is focused on an information-centric approach to support sustainability, developed using MIKE2.0.
What is open-sustainability?
- A startup social media and consulting company that provides solutions for sustainable development.
- A company and solution approach designed to address key sustainability requirements: global cooperation, technology innovation, changes in culture and long-term commitment.
- An approach that applies best practice principles from modern software development and management consulting to drive sustainable development in complex organizations.
- An approach based on www.openmethodology.org – a framework for Enterprise Information Management which provides open source content, technology and a wealth of lessons learned for the open–sustainability initiative.
- A business that has a deep concern for our environment and the people that we share it with. We aim to measure our success "do well by doing good".
open-sustainability: based on openmethodology concepts
- Part of the business model … sustainability must be a comprehensive competency, not an afterthought.
- An open framework … for sharing of common, collaboratively built standard.
- Information-centricity … is crucial to effective sustainability.
- Collaborative governance … engagement and participation is the key to measuring and changing behavior.
- Agility … extreme blueprinting approach for strategy, software best practices learned for implementation.
- Free … collaborative technologies and content provided for free to drive adoption.
- Participatory … a chance for individuals to shape a corporate standard and for companies to contribute to the community.
