The Sustainability-driven Innovation Matrix helps organizations create a common understanding of current practices and create a vision for integrating sustainability and innovation.
By outlining seven levels of maturity—from None to Synergizing—on both the sustainability and innovation axes, it enables businesses to map their progress and explore areas for development.
The levels of Sustainability & Innovation Maturity are a complement to the Sustainability-driven Innovation Matrix.
By supporting businesses to understand the different levels, from None to Synergizing— businesses can map their progress and explore areas for development.
The matrix is further divided into three core areas: Operational Efficiency, Organizational Transformation, and Ecosystem Symbiosis, each with a focus on different aspects of sustainability and innovation.
Present the Levels of Maturity to the team and discuss what the different levels mean for your business or organization. You can complement this discussion with the Guiding Questions (separate tool).
Have a critical discussion about where the business is. Use the matrix to create a shared understanding of your sustainability-driven innovation capabilities, across your team, your business unit, or the entire company.
