Course Introduction Video
My name is Joni Roberts, I’m one of the professors that helped develop this course. Businesses and societies are experiencing significant challenges in ensuring that stakeholders, which can include owners, employees, customers, suppliers, community members, peer organizations, and other interest groups, achieve and maintain wellbeing into the uncertain future. These challenges, which can be economic, environmental, and social, can also be seen as opportunities to achieve and maintain both internal and external success and satisfaction. Sustainability issues such as climate change, social equity, biodiversity preservation, and poverty elimination, are becoming critical with time. Businesses and other societal groups need to continuously adopt and apply innovative approaches to effectively address these issues. Dematerialization, product stewardship, renewable energy generation, biomimicry, and circular economy are a few examples of how businesses are turning challenges into opportunities for future well-being. This course identifies a wide range of strategies and illustrates how businesses and other organizations can effectively implement sustainable innovation approaches.
