Sustainable development is a process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development; and institutional change are all in harmony and enhance both current and future potential to meet human needs and aspirations this is how the concept of Sustainability is introduced in the Brundtland report (1987: chapter 2, paragraph 15). What does this mean for the purpose, vision and mission of a global company? How can the concept of sustainable development guide or even drive innovation in the 21st century? Which leadership challenges need to be addressed on the journey towards innovation for sustainable development? These questions are tackled in this book along two interlinked change journeys. The initiation of transformational organizational change through embedding the concept of sustainable development as innovation driver demands fundamental changes of innovation goals, processes and metric and significant human agency. Informal business pioneers and formal leaders in management positions as well as top level corporate staff need to individually and collectively develop new skills, behaviors and attitudes to enable the massive change required to respond to current global challenges. Senior managers, corporate practitioners, internal change agents, consultants and master students of different disciplines will discover a variety of practical challenges and related solutions that surface once sustainable development is meant to become an as important business purpose as financial performance.

Disruptive Innovation, an Act of Courage and Love

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2016

Dorothea Ernst is a rarity. Her book, "Personal and Organizational Transformation Towards Sustainability: Walking a Twin Path," is truly an act of love. Ernst’s conviction that personal transformation and organizational transformation are intertwined and interdependent shines forth throughout her journey at Royal Phillips, a Dutch Multinational Corporation. One cannot thrive without the other. "Personal and Organizational Transformation Towards Sustainability" is an invitation, a golden ticket, into the inspiration, challenges, benefits and imperative of walking this “Twin Path.”

A physicist, Ernst’s approach to disruptive innovation is both scientific and soulful, transparent and loving. She never lost sight of the vision that “all people live well within the limits of the planet,” as set forth by the World Business Council’s Vision 250 initiative.

"Personal and Organizational Transformation Towards Sustainability" is a privilege and a joy to read. It allows the reader to understand the twin path of disruptive innovation in the most natural way of storytelling. Ernst gives us hope, as she asks exciting questions, sleuths out solutions, connects dots, continually listens and learns, and unites people to bring about a whole which is “greater than the sum of its parts.” (Thank you, Aristotle!)

We can all be grateful that Dorothea Ernst invited us into her inner-sanctum adventure along the twin path! I cannot recommend this book highly enough—and I suggest that the Kindle version would be best, because enlarging the graphics and print would be helpful. I have a cherished signed copy in paperback, but found the text and graphics to be a bit scrunched. The only reason I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5 was the publisher's lackluster treatment of the book's layout and design.
