Abstract Review

Throughout the project, the aim is to create mission based businesses, (opposed to business based businesses) who value the concept of holistic sustainability in considering the People and the Planet along with their Profit. Sustainability is measured in terms of good or bad, with a sustainable business classed as one who has ‘no adverse negative impact’. The book World Changing states ‘no societal force other than business is capable of delivering the magnitude of economic change we need in the limited time we have.’ For this reason, the project focusses on the sustainability of small businesses, who make up approximately 98% of all business, using Geelong as an example as there is a large concentration of SME’s.

Feedback

Last week we had the opportunity to present out research and findings to a panel for feedback. Through this, my seemingly concise project opened up to something much larger and more complicated. I must constantly remember that through small actions we save the world and concentrate on the micro level to change the macro through this project. I have had the past week to stew over my ideas, to develop and research accordingly and begin the process of design as research. Coming soon: a checklist for trials!
