Integration has been a key theme across the general management,
organizational behaviour, supply chain management, strategy,
information systems and the environmental management literature for
decades. Sustainability continues to be, at the "top of the agenda"
in the C-suite. Despite this, specialists in academia and
organizations lack the peripheral vision to understand the power of
a more integrated approach that will empower functional groups to
become best-in-class without forcing trade-offs that pull down
other groups connected to overall operations. Integrated Management
is the key driver of innovation and profitability in progressive
companies. It reduces risks while pursuing new opportunities, and
the checks and balances for prudent management are baked in the
strategy for modern go-to-market synergy and growth. What can be
done, then, by individuals, functions, organizations, value chains,
and even whole cities to integrate and align sustainability? To
answer this and other questions, the information in this book finds
enterprises already on the path toward integrated management and
strategic sustainable development. It considers the opportunity we
have to enable an enterprise value proposition that includes
environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. Integrated
management applies a proven strategic planning approach to uncover
the tools and actions available for change management and
performance measured with an Integrated Bottom Line (IBL). Using
evidence based examples from best-in-practice enterprises, proven
management tenets, models and tools alongside emerging
technologies, we can develop integrated solutions aligned with the
UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It's easy to say
sustainability is important, yet not so easy to understand how it
is part of the decisions that are made every day and how it cuts
across business functions, systems, and supply chains. The
information within this book, the application of systems thinking
to complex problems, development of a vision and action plan, your
own research, and action learning activities are all designed to
accelerate management action, value creation, and the goal of a
sustainable future.
