Abstract
Ever since the introduction of business environmental scanning frameworks in the late 1970s and early 1980s, business leader’s entrained thinking was sculpted by their ability to apply a scanning framework based on analytical thinking, primarily. These frameworks were largely based on the basis of breaking things into smaller manageable bits. An example that comes to mind is that of the PESTLE framework. This framework taught strategists and scenario planners to view the business environment through the filters of politics, economy, social trends, technology, legislation and environment (green), as silo components of the larger business environment. This method consisted largely of listing the features of each component without considering the interdependence, interconnectedness and interrelatedness between these components, an oversight that largely led to an incomplete representation of the complete and whole business environment. Fast forward to 2018 and we are confronted with environmental challenges of mammoth proportion, largely due the pursuit of business competitiveness at the cost of the environment. To address the global environmental sustainability challenges facing humanity today, business leaders need to fundamentally change the way they view, scan and analyze the environment. For this to happen, we need to fundamentally change our thought paradigm about the environment within which we operate and conduct business. This paper aims to introduce such a reframed framework through which businesses can scan the environment systemically, as opposed to merely analytically, leading to a more complete representation of the environment and enabling competitive sustainability and environmental sustainability to co-exist.
