It's clear that how we currently look at organizations is ruining the world. Financial tools encourage depleting natural resources and taking advantage of disadvantaged parts of our local and international society (with low wage rates).
What if we could make the invisible, visible… help everyone see our organization’s impact on society, the environment, and economics. The triple bottom line.
Working with The Natural Step (TNS), we developed this science-based sustainability scorecard. We combine 35 years of best-practices in sustainability with 35 years of best-practices in performance measurement to create a near-real-time view of your organizations total impact.
Since developing the TNS-Sustainability Scorecard, we have expanded it to cover the UN-SDGs, GRI, B-Corp, etc. This methodology has been implemented in private and public sector organizations of all sizes and complexity.
We deliver our sustainability scorecard services in exciting workshops that both train your team and builds your first sustainability scorecard.

Assessing each process' impact on strategic success enables:
-Accurate cascade to processes
-Showing areas of focus
-Enables OKRs (Objectives and key results)
Adding performance assessments to the ontology allows:
-Visibility of strategic performance gaps by process
-Visibility of strategic performance gaps by Strategic Objective
Viewing the gaps enables:
-Alignment on where focus is necessary
-Cross-functional view of opportunities
Adding project linkage and potential benefits to the ontology allows:
-Visibility of gap-closing potential of proposed project portfolio
-Discovery of mis-alignment of project budgets
-Ability to strategically prioritize proposed projects
-Strategic Return on Investment (S-ROI)
The scorecard needs to be integrated with existing accountability, risk, reporting, and communication cycles:
-Gathers informed analysis from those who know
-Integrates performance, accountability and risk into a single view
-Makes performance meetings far more effective
With cloud-based software and your existing measures, you can be operational by the end of the week!
-Wide access to current performance information
-Agreement by everyone on how to view performance
-Linkage to associated projects
-Pulls data from existing files
-Allow for staged growth
