As NCS works with companies, communities and
countries now, the below graphic is utilized to
illustrate the NCS Management Helix's main concepts:
Any Helix is made up of two strands. In the
Management Helix, the first strand contains an organization’s
Mission,
Vision,
Values,
Products, and
Services. The second strand contains an organization’s measurements:
Accounting,
Finance
The Integrated Bottom Line.
In any organization
the two strands are linked together with strong fibers, in this case:
Governance and Management, Operations and Facilities, Design & Process Innovation, Human Resources & Corporate Culture, Marketing & Communication and Partnerships & Stakeholder Engagement.
In nature, strands tend to spiral. Each turn offers a different
perspective, a point at which to develop a new
understanding of what sustainability can offer to your
organization, NCS calls these choice points. Each turn of the spiral offers a point at which an organization can choose to become more sustainable:
Exploration, interest; information gathering
Testing, demonstration, and experimentation
Sustainability leadership
Restorative organizations continuously restore, enhance and sustain human and natural capital.
This Helix is an evolving body of knowledge and practice. Contributors have included:
Hunter Lovins, Christopher Juniper, Walter Link of Global Academy,
Charlie Hargroves and The Natural Edge Project,
Presidio School of Management MBA candidates, Janet
Graaff of CU Boulder, David Johnston of What's
Working, Paul Sheldon, and Sissel Waage.
