Sustainability, economics, and design are overlapping rebuilding blocks that can reboot outdated thinking around prosperity. Sustainability involves accounting for environmental goods and services, corporate environmental performance, and moving away from high consumption. Economics sees a global economic shift from West to East and increased fragility in high-income countries. Design is becoming more responsive to social and environmental issues through open data, collaboration, and lifecycle awareness. Mapping business models against these rebuilding blocks can help organizations create long-term value in a changing world.
