What would the ideal strategic planning engagement look like?

The Weave provides guidance for sustainability practitioners wishing to more deeply engage people in creating their sustainable future.

The Weave integrates the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD), also known as The Natural Step Framework, with strategic process design principles and dialogue-based methodologies. The FSSD is the skeleton that provides the structure of planning for sustainability, while the ABCD process provides a high-level approach for moving through the strategic planning stages in a step-wise manner.

The Weave was developed by Tracy Meisterheim, Steven Cretney, and Alison Cretney. It is the outcome of our 2011 Masters in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability (MSLS) thesis research at Blekinge Tekniska Högskola, Sweden. The final thesis, Integrating Participatory Processes in Planning for Strategic Sustainable Development, is available for download at www.bth.se.
