Context and the need to join the dots
We live in an increasing uncertain world – with political, environmental, technological and economic changes accelerating.
The natural world underpins our society and economy, yet news is coming out daily about the damage that is being done to global ecosystems or of new records in terms of temperature or climate related disasters, with massive costs to people and the economy.
Ecological footprint accounting suggests that we are consuming natural resources 50% faster than the planet can regenerate them.
Of the nine Planetary Boundaries identified by scientists, six have been exceeded. Jobs, climate, health, nature, etc are all interconnected.
Therefore, we will need to ‘join the dots’ to create and implement solutions to make us resilient to the challenges ahead. And this will require a new way of thinking…
Systems thinking: focus on the connections
Creating the most effective Outcomes needs a ‘systems thinking’ approach, based on an understanding of the relationships and interconnections, for example: between personal health and well-being, the economy, climate, transport, food, pollution, community and wealth inequality.
To create and implement good plans and strategies we need to work across siloes of departments, industries, supply chains and stakeholders; to ensure joined-up solutions.
Without a clear consideration of relationships and connections, any Actions are unlikely to be joined-up and so, although they might tackle one problem, they are not likely to deliver good results across a range of Outcomes.
The OnePlanet platform
The OnePlanet platform and ‘Mindmap’ planning tool provides you with a way to have a clear focus on the Outcomes you want to achieve. We make it easy for you to create and deliver joined-up plans and strategies based on a ‘systems thinking’ approach. Plans made with OnePlanet can be ‘internally’ joined up by linking Outcomes, Actions and Indicators in one Plan, but can also be joined up across departments or organisations.
In this way, you can work in a coordinated way across departments, with your colleagues, customers, supply chain and other stakeholders; and be relevant, for individual staff, up to senior leadership.
The OnePlanet platform helps you to see the relationships and interconnections necessary to deliver the most effective Outcomes and Actions that our planet needs.
To date OnePlanet has enabled local governments, companies and community groups to collaborate, plan in a joined-up way and align actions towards common, Shared Outcomes. This has saved resources and has delivered Outcomes more easily, quickly and cost-effectively than would have otherwise been possible.
OnePlanet’s innovative platform can enhance your organisation’s planning, management, communication and reporting – doing more for less. By fully integrating a Systems Approach into your operations, the OnePlanet platform can unlock new opportunities for you.
