From plan to practice

From plan to practice, where strategy meets Monday morning

Most sustainability plans stall on the translation, not on ambition. The strategy stops where the design begins, and the work never changes.

What it is

Why so many plans stall

They stall on the translation, not on ambition. A plan signed on Friday, and the same choices made the old way on Tuesday. Without translation into roles, routines and decisions the daily work stays as it was.

Where it goes wrong

How a plan lands

By changing the system around it. Routines, roles, decision-making and incentives. Move those, and sustainability comes back in the everyday choices people make in meetings. See also double materiality.

Where this sits in the wheel

This sits under the theme Integrate

Our Embedding Framework is a wheel of thirteen themes and fifty-eight practices that together decide how deeply sustainability is anchored in an organisation. Landing a plan in daily work sits under the theme Integrate: weaving sustainability into routines, roles and decisions until it holds without being pushed.

Want to see where your organisation stands on Integrate, and on the other twelve themes, take the Embedding Scan. Forty minutes, thirteen themes, a structured read of your culture.
