Patterning: An inclusive approach to focus the opportunity envelope
27 March 2019

Imagine if all your employees could suddenly see patterns of sustainability potential. We can make this happen.

Win-win is a great idea. It is the only viable way to Accelerate your sustainability impact. At Incite we call it Profit-Enabled Impact. Circular Economy, Reverse Innovation, Base of the Pyramid, Creating Shared Value… there’s no shortage of theory. Over the years, and despite an embrace of Design Thinking, organisations have discovered that their win-win ideas are not as scalable as they’d hoped. Patterning was designed to help our clients get across this chasm.

To turn win-win possibilities into potential, we must find an effective focus. To do this, we open our eyes wide with a process that can include anybody in your organisation: from the CEO to the security guard. Ideator works on patterns and every human has an innate pattern-recognition capability. We see in patterns before we learn how to talk.

Patterning clarifies the opportunity space by revealing patterns in how you and your peers are already delivering Profit-Enabled Impact. Using Patterning:

  • Namdeb teams competed on finding Profit-Enabled Impact opportunities
  • Distell explored how scaling social impact could help them build better brands
  • Implats Rustenburg Operations used patterns to track their performance in Circular Economy
  • Spur Corporation focused their overarching sustainability framework on areas with potential for scale
  • Many delegates at University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), UCT’s Graduate School of Business and Trinity Business College, Dublin played Ideator games to explore the power of the profit formula.
