At Planet Alba 🌍 we're keen to delve into a topic that resonates across industries: Corporate Sustainability. Is it a philosophical imperative or merely a matter of compliance and buzz? The landscape of international business, especially for startups, is increasingly intertwined with sustainability. On one hand, implementing sustainable practices can be seen as a hurdle, requiring adherence to complex regulations and potentially inflating operational costs. On the other, embracing sustainability can open doors to new markets, enhance brand reputation, and attract investors who are committed to long-term ecological and social value. For instance, research highlights that companies with robust sustainability practices tend to outperform their less sustainable peers in the long run. Yet, the transition towards sustainability can be daunting for startups operating on thin margins and facing rigid regulations. So, what's your take? Do the opportunities presented by embracing sustainability outweigh the challenges? How does this align with your experiences in the global startup scene? Let's skip the textbook discussions and share some real insights. How are you navigating the complex terrain of corporate sustainability? #CorporateSustainability #Startups #GlobalBusiness

Disruptive innovation also know as creative disruption can be understood through the symbolism of an egg. A chick pecking its way out of an egg is a classic image of disruptive creation. The chick, a new player, disrupts the status quo within the egg to create new life. . . . . This mirrors how disruptive innovations, often simpler and more accessible, can break into established markets, challenging the dominance of existing products. However, an egg broken from the outside represents destruction. This parallels how clinging to outdated methods of production in the face of disruption can lead to a company’s demise. Disruption forces businesses to re-evaluate the fundamental economic questions: what to produce, who to produce for, and for whom to produce. They must adapt their offerings, identify new target audiences, and potentially even reinvent their production methods to survive and thrive in the face of any change.

Excellent Input! Kudos to Frank Kumli : „Your random acts of Innovation aren‘t working!“ „Innovation isn't just about novelty; it's about creating value beyond the core business. To succeed, we must consistently add value to our offerings, distinguishing ourselves in the market.“ #business #innovation #innovationmanagement #growth

Your Random Acts of Innovation Aren’t Working! Key take-aways from the master class:   1. Embracing Change The only constant is change. Understanding that innovation adoption curves vary in pace is crucial. We must anticipate and adapt to shifts, focusing not only on current trends but also on what lies ahead   2. Defining Innovation Innovation isn't just about novelty; it's about creating value beyond the core business. To succeed, we must consistently add value to our offerings, distinguishing ourselves in the market   3. Avoiding Failure Modes Predictable failure modes, such as misalignment with enterprise strategy and insufficient governance, can hinder innovation efforts. Proper alignment, governance, and fostering a culture conducive to innovation are paramount   4. Building an Innovation System Driving innovation performance requires a structured approach. Establish clear objectives, align with strategic priorities, embrace agile pathways, govern portfolios effectively, and nurture the right people and culture   5. Insights from Maersk Maersk's innovation journey underscores the importance of problem-centric innovation, external collaboration, and prioritization based on scalability, ROI, and of testing proof of concept in real-life scenarios. Eexecutive education is key along this journey   I tremendously enjoyed this webinar by Anna Veatch and Alex Slawsby at Innosight, hosting Erez A., Global Head of Innovation at Maersk Group.

Eco-consciousness isn't a choice; it's an essential business strategy. 🌱 Ever pondered about how green startups ingeniously weave sustainability into their very fabric? Throwing some light on this, our recent study conducts an in-depth exploration of innovative strategies employed by both 'born-sustainable' startups and those that have consciously transitioned towards sustainable practices. We undertake an investigation into their dynamic embrace of the triple bottom line (TBL) approach. 🌍 The journey from an initial focus on the double bottom line (DBL) to full TBL integration is not without its challenges. However, it is also abundant in its rewards, promoting not only financial success but also environmental and social responsibility. 📈 Comprehension of these paradigm shifts is paramount for successful stakeholder management, fostering entrepreneurial growth, and solidifying a company's commitment to sustainable development. 🚀 But this is only the start. More studies are on the horizon to uncover deeper, more nuanced insights across various startup landscapes worldwide. It's a journey of discovery, innovation, and most of all, responsibility. 🌏 Interested in joining the sustainability revolution? Your insights, experiences, and questions are welcome.
