Through the lens of value, and a systems perspective the course addresses local and global sustainability challenges. Students will identify the trends and forces in play, apply frameworks and models to create and evaluate available alternatives, and consider appropriate governance mechanisms to execute and implement the desired options. Systems models and sustainability mapping tools highlight opportunities and threats. Given the complexity and broad set of stakeholders involved, elements of creativity, cross-sector partnerships and leadership are included to support the objective of sustainable value creation.
