Our Philosophy
Wiseworld advocates a holistic view of sustainability
that is seeking:
- Environmental integrity
- Wellbeing and Quality of Life for all
- Safe, vibrant, diverse communities
- Social and global justice
- Sustainable product design
- Strong, ethical economies that enable the above
Our work begins with engaging all people in the
creation of a compelling sustainability vision that is relevant
to the scope of the organisation.
A framework is then established for dialogue and
action planning to consider how we move towards this vision in
all domains of your work.
Principles of Sustainability
Wiseworld works with the following thinking:
Interconnectedness.
Everything is radically interconnected. All actions have consequences
across multiple domains. Solutions cannot be considered in isolation.
Biomimicry.
We can design using the operating principles of nature - no waste,
self-organisation, diversity.
Collaboration.
The best solutions derive from the synergies of
shared participation, visioning and learning.
Creative Capacity.
We already have the wisdom for sustainability
and this is able to be untapped.
Thoughts matter.
Our thinking, beliefs and the focus of our attention creates our
sense of meaning and our reality.
The flow of learning
Our work follows the following
steps:
1
Understanding the situation – What are the facts relating
to environmental, social and economic wellbeing? What are the
emerging local and global trends driving positive solutions.
2
Generating inspiration and passion. Identifying issues and opportunities.
3
Clarifying a new Story - What would a sustainable future look
and feel like in this organisation? What are the guiding values
and principles?
4
Developing practical action plans for your context:
PRODUCT –
What new technologies, products and services could we employ?
PLACE –
How do we create workplace, community and home environments
that support sustainable behaviour?
PEOPLE –
Which behaviours, thinking and processes encourage sustainability?
