Abstract

In this chapter, the previous findings of this book are translated into proposals for action. In particular, it addresses the question: how can a company translate the resource-based approach to sustainability into concrete actions? To answer this question, I offer a self-check based on the logic of decision premises. This self-check aims to make visible the current decision-making priorities within each of the company’s fields of action. Based on this priority list, a company can make a systematic plan to increase resource orientation and gradually change their decision-making priorities. Additionally, a very innovative method of reading complex systems is introduced. System constellations are a new type of system analysis that works with images and enables conclusions to be drawn about companies’ attitudes toward sustainability. Companies are visualized with the help of spatial language, while people represent relevant elements of the system. These three-dimensional images of a system constellation have so far proven to be very robust in terms of their quality of depicting the company.
