Facilitation

The prevailing framework and most common approach to sustainability challenges sees them as 'risks to be addressed' or 'problems to be solved' by raising an ethical bar.  While such an approach may leave us feeling more virtuous in the short term it unfortunately does little to address these problems at their source.  Focusing on 'ethical business' or 'responsible sourcing' leaves the individual and organisational mindset, culture and decision making processes completely untouched and intact. 

 

Sustainable development and modern slavery are adaptive challenges and wicked problems. This means they are complex, multifaceted, contradictory, interdependent, constantly changing and are much larger than the individuals and organisations seeking to address them. Such challenges are immune to technical solutions.  Instead they invite us to adapt and evolve in terms of learning new ways of being, thinking, relating, collaborating and acting in order to more effectively respond.  

 

The transparency and collaboration required by any organisation seeking to genuinely address such issues requires a necessary journey of inner development. 

 

With a different narrative, embodied practices and a shift in mindset, such work can lead to genuine internal transformation, a thriving culture and systemic change.  Potential weaknesses, blindspots and risks that were previously a threat become ripe with opportunity and represent genuine pathways for positive impact.
