When the world is becoming environmentally degraded by current human practices, isn’t it time to change the way things are done?
Is it arguable that the Five Dimension business case model, pays lip service to the environment and sustainability?
Isn’t it time for evolution and to upgrade this with a new development?
Why not change it to add a sixth dimension to the model?
Obviously, its only a concept idea and needs worked up and defined, but the sixth could be sustainability, bringing important scoring to the mix in a dimensional headline role not at the rear where it currently resides.
Would a sustainability dimension, add points weighting to projects that have minimal product life cycle emissions, for example?
Would a sustainability dimension, stop chimney stacks from wood-powered or other combustion power stations polluting the air, by forcing it into a capture system, perhaps utilising the output in the process?
Would this extra weighting prefer funding for businesses and projects to those who have a clean and sustainable act?
Would this then generate a paradigm shift in business case options toward a sustainable greater good?
Shouldn’t preferred options in a business case always be something that minimises waste, preferably a circular economy solution and be something that could be sustained? To clarify sustained, continued forever?
Would this equal more costs and less profits for big business, but also increase employment opportunities and spread the wealth in a world with increasing income inequality?
Would this work towards a sigmoid growth curve for sustaining the future generations?
Has a benefit analysis been completed for changing the Five Dimensions to Six dimensions?
