Chapter 1: 7: a Introduction Call to action 52 next steps One of the most important findings of this systematic knowledge review on embedding sustainability is that practice is currently leading theory in a meaningful way. Practitioners are currently at the ‘front lines’ of this evolving area and have much to contribute to our understanding of how to embed sustainability. It is clear from this review that there is a great need for research in this area. In particular, there is a need for researchers to engage with and learn from those practitioners that are ‘living’ this every day in their own organizations. We invite you to join our ongoing conversation and work in this area by visiting the Network for Business Sustainability’s Culture topic page at www.nbs.net/knowledge/culture. baseline/gap analysis or new program implementation Use the portfolio assessment tool to conduct a baseline assessment and gap analysis for the organization as a whole. Or, use the framework to plan what practices you will use to support the implementation of a particular program. step 1 When conducting a baseline/gap analysis, place a check mark next to the practices that you already employ. If you are planning a new program, place a check mark beside those that you plan to employ. step 2 take a look at the distribution. do you make use of a sub-set of practices from each quadrant? are you making use of the supported practices? do you expend too much energy in one quadrant at the expense of others? step 3 Circle additional practices that you might want to consider, emphasizing those that have been demonstrated to be effective. See the full systematic review for more details making use of the framework.
