Sustainable Business Transformation

Sustainability is a complex concept comprised of multiple facets such as social, environmental, economic and more that challenges traditional norms of organisational practices. But there is a lack of generally accepted sustainability principles that is supported by most of the organisational stakeholders, and a pattern oriented methodology that is entirely backed by the organisational resources, in particular information systems. Decision makers are tackling ever-increasing difficulties for transforming a business into sustainable entity. This research proposes a multi-level sustainability business transformation (SBT) roadmap that supports the business for maintaining a consistent conversion process of existing operations into sustainable ones. The roadmap consists of discover and learn, strategise, design, transform, monitor and control phases that supports the life cycle from conceptualising sustainability issues to final implementation, monitoring, reporting, and controlling of sustainability. A Sustainability Modelling and Reporting DSS that supports all the decision making requirements for realising the SBT roadmap has been implemented.
