What is Sustainability?
Sustainability addresses three issues:
Maintaining the benefits of a program
Continuing a program
Building the capacity to continue a program
Broadly speaking sustainability refers to:
“The process of ensuring an adaptive preventive
system … can be integrated into ongoing
operations to benefit diverse stakeholders.”
(Johnson, Hayes, Center, & Daley, 2004, p. 137)
Key Issues in Sustainability
Sustainability is an ongoing dynamic process
Sustainability is an adaptive process
Sustainable innovation is integrated into normal
operations and requires adequate infrastructure
capacity
Sustainable innovation should have proven
benefit to diverse stakeholders
Sustainability requires commitment and support:
Champions
