On the (repurposed) ferry back to the city after the final day of the Climate Change and Business Conference, I was thinking about business models… I’ve said it before and the conference once again reinforced it to me: - the why is unequivocal (science) - the what is well known (solutions) - the how is the job to be done (strategy, business models, financing to scale the solutions) And there were some interesting business model themes that came through for me during the conference. The potential business model archetypes that seem to be growing in importance are those centred around: - repurposing (capabilities and assets) - aggregating (spacial and temporal) - standardising (supply and demand) - disintermediating (scientific and digital innovation) - collaborating (intra and inter-industry) ***edit from the bike into work*** Swap: - collaborating (intra and inter-industry) *necessary across all archetypes* For: - smoothing (volatility/turbulence and uncertainty) *** I think a lot of these emerge from the addressing the challenges and capitalising on the advantages associated with our scale and couple nicely with a focused strategy around key niches, particularly in the global context. Thanks everyone I had a chance to catch up with for the thought provoking discussions throughout the conference.

🔍Panel 7 of the 60th Anniversary International Conference on Sustainability and Sustainable Media 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 In the seventh panel of the 60th Anniversary International Conference, we group scholars from the US, Germany, and the United Kingdom. This panel asks how we can integrate social equity, environmental and human health, ethics, and technologies to create diverse and thriving communities on the urban, regional, and global scale. The presentations address the questions from the perspective of “cultures of technology” which refers here to the values, norms, expectations, and controls that shape how technologies are imagined, designed, used, and replaced. This panel will address some of these cultures and practices in contexts of migration, digital labour, the politics of innovation, and sustainable urban spaces. In their presentations, scholars will highlight how cultures of technology engage with, defy, and reproduce sustainable practices and what we can learn from historically underrepresented groups and regions. For their presentation details, please visit the conference website: https://lnkd.in/ezjuk28M #60thAnniversary #JLM #InternationalConference #AcademicEvent #SustainabilityandSustainableMedia

So glad my talk helped to inspire this article. The theme of who gets to anticipate - in organisations, in policy making, in any type of decision-making really - is critical. Which voices are (or are not) listened to, what are the consequences and what might we be missing as a result?

My newest blog for Innovation Origins is about anticipation. I would like to thank Arne Rieber, for his inspiring talk at #Anticipation2024 that made me write this blog. Arne Rieber claimed the capacity to anticipate the future is unevenly distributed. In this blog I share my thoughts on what that means and in which direction solutions can be found. As Leila Varley brought forward, people have the right to anticipate; so where can we give hands and feet to this right? While writing, I included many insights from #Anticipation2024 at Lancaster University, so therefore I would also like to express my gratitude to Carlos Lopez Galviz, Vlad Glaveanu, Roberto Poli, Leila Varley and Anneke Sools. https://lnkd.in/ehAuMKXS

6moLove your take Pete! The how is absolutely where we need to be going with conferences. I feel personally I'm done with why and what. It will take bold organisations to stand up and be honest about how they're making the shifts, what they're learning along the way, how they're measuring the ROI and communicating that to stakeholders and shareholders. Shame I couldn't be there this year, maybe next!
