Digitalizing Sustainability outlines why ‘business as usual’ isn't working and sets out five Transformational Forces which can be used to innovate and scale sustainability solutions using digital means.

This transformation will be powered by a range of digital technologies that have the potential to ideate, propel and scale sustainability solutions in an exponential manner over the next decade. This book introduces the Five Forces of Digital Transformation. These forces all share a common root – they are powered by digital technologies that enable them to operate at the speed and scale that we need to achieve global transformation for people and planet. Working together, these forces help overcome many of the barriers and pitfalls that humanity has faced in trying to achieve sustainability 2.0 and will help you tackle these questions:

Why has sustainability 1.0 failed us? What are the bugs and bad code in our operating systems that we must address to have any hope of creating a sustainable civilization? What are the Five Forces of Digital Transformation that will forge a sustainable and resilient future for our people and planet? What are the core priorities going forward for coalitions of the willing to harness these forces for sustainability and resilience?

Disruptive and innovative, this book provides readers with a clear path forward to a sustainable digital future. It will be of great interest to anyone interested in the adoption of digital technologies for driving solutions to global sustainability challenges.

Reviews for Digitalizing Sustainability: The Five Forces of Digital Transformation

It has reframed my thinking around what it means to scale sustainability globally, and I share Kathryn's esteem for the common good of the planet as a lens for rewiring our systems and in turn, our behaviors, to achieve universal impact. Lindsey Peterson, Global President of Earthforce at Salesforce Kathryn ably stares down the hard problem of sustainability... bringing her pragmatic systems thinking to the challenge. The five transformational forces will re-shape the questions you ask in your business, in policy making, decision making and strategy setting. How might we harness these transformational forces to create a sustainable planet? Meredith England, Director of Systems Innovation, Climate-KIC Australia Kathryn has done an amazing job of not only sounding the climate alarm bells but she also intelligently processes how digital technologies and transformations are crucial solutions to scale the change needed. Eddie Listorti, CEO, Viridios Capital Global Kathryn Sforcina is a force of nature! Her passion for sustainability and creating change in the world is breathtaking, this new book from her offers both a stark reality check and a way forward through the complex and challenging world and contribution of the digital reality in which we live today.Kathryn Sforcina's work offers an invaluable contribution to the pathway to meet the United Nations Sustainability Goals.
