The Sustainability Status
This decade was already set up to be one of great change even before the crises of early 2020. Transformation of the entire economy and social practices were accelerated by the global pandemic that swept around the world, wreaking havoc on markets, rapidly changing business operations, altering people’s lives and challenging healthcare systems.
The Covid-19 crisis is emerging entirely new ways of working, living and doing business. But before this, the foundations for massive disruption were already being laid out for businesses, with several forces of change playing out, here we explore these.
The Drivers of Change
Trends are driven by forces for change of which there are many influencing changes. In
exploring the megatrends and the disruptive shifts defining this decade, 12 drivers of change emerged demonstrating micro transformative forces shaping the way businesses operate and workplaces evolve.
In this section, we explore the relationship between business and sustainability, showing the drivers influencing change as identified through our trend analysis. We explore how they emerged and what pioneering organisations are already doing to adapt to these influential forces, showing how Covid-19, sustainability, climate change, and the Circular Economy are affecting the workforce in multi-pronged ways.
