12. Team up – Sustainability roles
Intergalactic girl
-Reminds the team to
zoom out (e.g.
stakeholder map plus)
Sustainability
champion
-Takes home
unsolved questions
Ketchie, Nehe, Shapira 2013, p.47
47. Finding leverage points
Stakeholder map plus
#1 Where will a small change potentially create a larger
change in the system‘s behaviour?
Observation insights
#2 What insights are most actionable within the
challenge‘s constraints?
Ketchie, Nehe, Shapira 2013, p.43
53. Filter ideas, decide
User <3?
Most radical?
Easy to implement?
Market potential?
Teams darling?
Project partner likes?
Meet a real need?
Unintended rebounds elsewhere?
Value creation?
Build for future opportunities?

66. My personal utopia (refined daily)
3. In circular economy everthing is before
hand designed for cascades
2. Materials are healthy for human and
nature (cradle to cradle)
4. Companies collaborate as industrial ecosystems
with one‘s waste beeing the other‘s raw material
1. Living in a community while working 50%
productively and 50% re-productively
70. Sustainable design ≠
Everything wood (≠ material for use case)
Long life (≠ strategic life cycle)
Direct recycling (≠ healthy material)
