Last week I wrote in my Strategy Blog ‘ Creating more value in services ‘, that more value can be created in services when ecosystem services are included. To achieve more value in the context of responsible long term investments or sustainability driven innovations, it means that more diverse knowledge is necessary.

What is strategy? A simple question, but the answer may be more complex than you think. The dictionary defines strategy as “a plan, method, or series of maneuvers or stratagems for obtaining a specific goal or result.”. Hard to argue with that.

In a recent survey of 246 CEOs from around the world, "having the right culture to foster and support innovation" was rated the most important ingredient to ensure a organization's success. In other words, if innovation is the big fish companies are trying to hook, culture is the ocean in which those fish are swimming. Changing a company's culture, however, is not an easy thing to do.
