Sustainability is the defining global business challenge of our age. In a world facing profound environmental, social and economic challenges, sustainability means creating business models that are resilient, adaptable and capable of enduring over the long haul. But achieving sustainability is neither simple nor straightforward.

In their new book, Leading the Sustainable Business Transformation, IMD professors Julia Binder and Knut Haanaes bring together renowned IMD thought leaders to offer action-orientated, practical support to business leaders ready to move beyond understanding why sustainability is essential to tackling the critical question of how to achieve it.

And they are well-placed to do so – Julia is the Director of the IMD Center for Sustainable and Inclusive Business and was recognized on the 2022 Thinkers50 Radar list. Knut Haanaes was the driving force behind the creation of the Business Schools for Climate Leadership alliance, a senior partner in BCG, and Dean of the Global Leadership Institute at the World Economic Forum.

Their book supports leaders looking to catalyse meaningful change, showcasing the opportunities that sustainability offers and how to seize them, including reducing climate-related financial risks and when and how to integrate sustainability into branding and marketing.

Covering strategy, innovation, operations, and leadership, the authors provide a holistic, actionable resource to help busy leaders navigate the complexities of sustainable transformation.

Strategy and Leadership as Service isn’t just a nice idea; it is a practical, alternative vision of the future of work for senior executives that is starting to gain significant interest and is being adopted by businesses globally. Disrupting and challenging the traditional full-time employment model, the Strategy and Leadership as Service framework provides businesses with access to the complete range of functional, emotional, and collective intelligence at the C-suite level by moving their positions from the “pay-roll” to an “access-role.”

Many entrepreneurial and growing businesses don’t need, don’t want, and can’t afford full-time C-suite executives. For larger organisations, it is becoming harder to find the skills and knowledge required to fulfil all the obligations of a functional C-suite with a fixed group of individuals. By moving to the Strategy and Leadership as Service framework, the outcomes are better for all stakeholders: more engagement, access to the right skillsets and mindsets at the right time and in the right quantity to match the changing business agenda, more flexibility for senior leaders, and strengthened risk management. Through presenting a working business model, and real-world case studies throughout, this book provides executives and leaders with a complete understanding of this ground-breaking approach and its key benefits, the theory upon which it is based, its essential ingredients, the mindset change required and, most importantly, how to apply it in practice.
