� I know ‘zero defects’, ‘low carbon’ and ‘sustainable growth’ are

vital goals, but they don’t appear to be motivating enough

people to take the bold steps needed for breakthroughs to a

thriving world.

� Sustainability and CSR are failing to deliver the breakthroughs

we need. All our efficiency gains are eaten up by rebound

effects & we’re not getting any extra praise for our efforts.

� Many recent innovations promise a thriving future, but I am not

sure how to replicate them where we are and if they will reach

scale and impact as needed for a green, inclusive economy.

Why ThriveAbility?Why ThriveAbility?Why ThriveAbility?Why ThriveAbility?

While Sustainability and CSR are a step in the right direction, they are largely incremental and failing to

deliver the transformations needed for a thriving future. Breakthrough innovations at business model and

ecosystem levels must be catalysed by top management through strategy, design and quality processes, to

deliver positive impact growth. Investors will support well thought through, highly measurable initiatives.

Sustainability is as much a challenge of changing our mental models as it is a problem of dealing with the

flows of materials, energy and resources effectively and sustainably. ThriveAbility is a response to the

failure of sustainability to address this psychological challenge, and integrates existing disciplines in creative

ways, leading to innovative, game changing outcomes. Personal and organisational transformation is the

key to a Thriving Future. What motivates people to change lies at the heart of ThriveAbility.

The ThriveAbility Approach provides a decision framework for such mind-sets and incentives. This seminar

offers a deep dive into ThriveAbility, and will show you how it can be embedded into organisations through

Factor 100 Change. In “Embedding ThriveAbility” we will explore:

� The current global megatrends and gaps that need to be closed for a sustainable future1;

� The emerging “North Star” that serves as a reality check for all decision makers;

� Replicable strategies for accelerated organisational and business ecosystem transformation;

� How integral psychology enables us to deliver profound change for ThriveAbility.

Join us from 22-24 March 2013 and become part of a transformative conversation that will help embed

sustainable innovation and profound change in our organisations and economies. You will be challenged to

find answers to some of the most perplexing questions facing executives and policymakers today, including:

� What is success in a green, inclusive economy? What is the gap between where we are and where

we need to be? How can we close that gap through enjoyable experiences for our stakeholders?

� How can we define policies for ThriveAbility that include a joint reality check that aligns key

stakeholders around a “North Star”, resulting in quantifiable, implementable business ecosystem

visions and pathways?

� What are the absolute minimum deliverables in specific timeframes for ThriveAbility, from the

global and national policy levels down to business ecosystems and organisations?

� What kind of leadership can align the diverse stakeholder needs that will enable ThriveAbility to

become embedded in organisations and business ecosystems everywhere?

� How can different industries and organisations redefine their core competencies and

contributions in the light of an adaptation plan?

If you are not able to join us from 22-24 March 2013, you can choose from three other sets of dates:

28-30 June 2013 27-29 September 2013 13-15 December 2013

Economic Forum, the Rio+20 process, Global Standards bodies such as the GRI and UN task forces focussed on climate change and sustainable

energy policies.

Embedding ThriveAbility will appeal to key decision makers and change leaders curious about the

breakthroughs being achieved by organisations applying a new set of leadership and management

approaches centred around ThriveAbility. This is an opportunity to work with your peers to discover how

you can apply ThriveAbility in your organisation or business.

Strategy leaders, HR leaders, quality leaders, sustainability leaders, product/service leaders and

communication leaders as well as top management representatives and policymakers will benefit from

attending. The group will consist of a maximum of 25 people, offering an intimate forum for you to find

your inspiration and learn how to embed ThriveAbility in your organisation. For optimal impact we also welcome groups of colleagues from the same organisation who are looking for

new ways to tackle the challenges they face in accelerating their sustainability, CSR and innovation efforts.

Thrival Innovation is Key

ThriveAbility recognises that thrival innovation is the key driver of competitive advantage, and that

future industry leaders will be those who have created sustainable value by tackling the world's

most pressing problems.

ThriveAbility Thinking Opens the Door

ThriveAbility Thinking is a powerful way to transcend messy, seemingly intractable challenges, spot

the opportunities, develop elegant solutions and align key stakeholders through creative processes

integrating sustainable design and rapid prototyping methods. This combination of a strategic

helicopter perspective with down in the details creative problem solving has the potential to

deliver profoundly beneficial systemic shifts in organisations and business ecosystems.

Embedding ThriveAbility builds on an extensive research database and network of innovators in

sustainability built up by Renaissance2 and its partners over the past decade. You will have the

opportunity to learn from real-life case studies in addition to bringing your own challenges to the seminar.

In 2012 54 of the world’s 100 most sustainable companies are European, and we are fortunate to be able

to draw on the expertise of some of the leaders of these organisations, and other pioneers who are

pushing the boundaries in this field.

We are also lining up a select group of leaders from some of these and other organisations who will be

directly involved in the seminars, either in person or via video conference.

You do not have to be a sustainability pioneer to join us – we are looking for participants with bold visions

and who are willing to rethink their organisation’s core and its raison d’etre using ThriveAbility principles.

ThriveAbility offers a radical solution to close the gap between what is needed for a thriving future and

current management practices. In three inspiring, highly interactive days we will explore the radical

principles, practices, methods and tools needed for sustainable innovation and change, including:

� ThriveAbility Megatrends - some of the critical challenges facing our natural and business

ecosystems, and why current organisational and managerial approaches are failing us;

� The ThriveAbility Approach & North Star – how to define and create sustainable value through

sustainable innovation and design. The ThriveAbility Equation shows you how to deliver thrival

through the transformation of organisations at all levels, while respecting baseline metrics for a

sustainable future.

� Leading Sustainable Innovation & Design Practices – the most effective practices leading

organisations and innovators are using to spot and catalyse breakthrough sustainable innovations.

� The Factor 100 Change Imperative – why existing behavioural change approaches are failing and

what needs to be done to trigger profound change to deliver sustainable transformations.

� Enabling Human Emergence – how integral psychology frameworks & diagnostics enable the

personal and organisational shifts required for ThriveAbility, and inspire spontaneous commitment.

Consumer goods firms such as Puma and Ecouterre are good

examples of companies extending ThriveAbility principles into

their strategies and management practices. There are also several

oil and power companies in Europe such as Neste Oil and Fortum

who are pioneering sustainability in their industries as a

competitive advantage.

Companies such as Herman Miller and designers such as Turntoo

also combine great design with durable, sustainable products in

industries such as household appliances, electronics and furniture.



� ThriveAbility Thinking – how the magic of innovation and design can be meshed with the

intelligences required for sustainability and organisational transformation.

� Shifting Organisations – craft developmental pathways, assess leadership and organisational value

systems and change states, using models of organisational alignment to identify the pathways of

change and transformation that are latent in an organisation.

� Integral Leadership & Stakeholder Alignment—Experience the kind of leadership that can align the

diverse stakeholder values to enable ThriveAbility to become embedded in organisations and

business ecosystems. How can we transform Integrated Reporting to help deliver this alignment?
