How can we create a future where people, planet, and business thrive?
Where are we today?
Things don't feel that great right now. But our ability to connect with each other and to manipulate the world around us has never been greater. How might we channel this potential to usher in a future that allows people, planet, and business to thrive?
Where could we be tomorrow?
Imagine a future in which no company undermines the wellbeing of people or the planet, where business is considered universally as a force for good. Where the more profitable companies are, the more they are celebrated — not just by their shareholders, but by everyone — because each dollar those companies earn creates value for society as a whole.
In this future, we live in harmony with nature. Today’s take-make-waste models of production have been supplanted by a borrow-use-return approach.
"Growth" is synonymous not with higher GDP, but with increasing trust, greater equity, healthier lives, and richer ecosystems. And in their pursuit of this growth, all companies strive to ensure that every person contributing to their success is afforded the opportunity to learn, grow and lead fulfilling lives.
In this future, society becomes ever more socially just, economically inclusive, and environmentally restorative, because all key actors are working collaboratively, consciously and continuously to the same end — the removal of barriers to our collective progress.
How can we get there?
To make this happen, every business must play its part in the transition. That may sound like a big ask when day-to-day pressures make it hard for many companies to think beyond the next few months, or even weeks.
We get it. Yes, we have a vision, but we're pragmatists too. And that's why we've devised a completely new model — one designed to help businesses build their own capacity for change in the face of uncertainty and upheaval, so they can thrive today while preparing for tomorrow.
The vision described above is adapted from the Future-Fit Business Benchmark, an open source methodology for guiding and measuring progress toward the future we want, which Transition Agency's founders created.
We offer a unique and cost effective way to embrace this transition
