A Framework for Sustainability

To become truly sustainable, organizations need transformational change. The aim is for this framework to make it easier to incorporate innovative changes in technology, drive new business benefits and change organizational culture. For a challenge this big, we need a different kind of framework. Unlike other frameworks, methods or standards, FISDev provides an open approach that anyone can contribute to. As a collaborative method, FISDev balances stability with innovation.

Build Collaborative Sustainability Solutions

FISDev is built on a product called omCollab, a completely free and open source technology for Enterprise 2.0 that has been built as part of the open methodology project. Anyone can download omCollab and use it to build collaborative solutions within their own organizations and integrate to FISDev.

Information Centric Sustainability Solutions

Information-centricity is important for many sustainability challenges:

• Providing ways to share information across departments, organizations and even national boundaries as part of lifecycle analysis.
• Measuring carbon emissions and the effectiveness of trading schemes
• Conducting longitudinal studies on the effectiveness of poverty reduction through foreign investment
• Using advanced analytics to understand the benefits health programs and emergent risks
• Providing comparative analysis of how changes to one area (reducing carbon emissions) impacts another (food prices)

A principle of FISDev is that better information helps people make objective, evidence-based decisions related to sustainability. You can use the together with FISDev to take an information-centric approach to sustainability.
