Closing the Sustainability Implementation Gap

  • Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3 Frederiksberg, 2000 Denmark (map)

Have you ever wondered why there is so much talk and so little action in corporate sustainability? Rikke Rønholt Albertsen has spent the last three years researching this very question and uncovered the paradoxical tensions that most organizations struggle to navigate.

During this interactive lecture, you'll discover why linear logic and either-or thinking can be limiting or even harmful when dealing with systemic sustainability challenges and wicked problems. You'll be introduced to the powerful tools of both/and thinking and learn to apply a paradoxical approach to corporate sustainability issues.
