The demands on innovation management have changed dramatically in recent years.
In the traditional setting, the in-house R&D dept is the most important source of innovation.
An opening to the outside world to better meet the increased demands changes this classical understanding.
Enlightened businesses are seeking to future-proof themselves over the long term by aiming to decouple business growth from increasing environmental and social damage, eliminate negative impacts, or even generate restorative/net-positive impacts. Others are going even further, innovating entirely new resilient ways of working, and exploiting the opportunities in global trade around solutions that tackle pollution, congestion, resource scarcity and other international challenges.
The purpose of this report is to highlight actions that large firms have taken to transform their business models towards sustainability.

A/E/C Marketing: How to Market Green When Everyone Else Issubstance151
This seminar was presented to the Society of Professional Services Marketing (SMPS) Maryland on February 9, 2011.
Today’s business success requires that organizations demonstrate their environmental commitment and social purpose, engaging internal and external stakeholders in a meaningful and relevant way. So it is imperative for A/E/C firms to market their environmental and social initiatives – to help create differentiation and gain competitive advantage in the increasingly crowded “green” marketplace.
While in the past many A/E/C firms relied on the number of LEED-certified projects or LEED APs to get ahead, most firms today have LEED-certified projects in their portfolio and LEED APs on staff — A/E/C marketers need to move their message beyond LEED to remain competitive.

Eco-Engineering: The Grass Is
Always Greener
Yes, the title of this chapter has a dual meaning. Among senior execu-tives at global corporations, eco-engineering is already seen as astrategic imperative—even though the practice of eco-engineering is
not yet clearly understood by engineers. At the same time, many companies
feel constant pressure to prove that their “green” initiatives are greener than
their competitors’, leading to an upward spiral in greenwashing.
The net result is confusion. It can be difficult for engineers, executives, and
consumers to distinguish between an environmentally responsible project and
a plain old-fashioned PR grab. If you’re an engineer who’s really interested
in making a positive environmental impact, what should you focus on? Here
are a few suggestions, based on lessons learned from the real world of eco-
engineering.
Carbon Neutrality: Good Start but Not Enough
Corporate sustainability leaders tend to be a collaborative group. They are
open to sharing ideas, swapping stories, and growing their networks of col-
leagues in other companies. And that’s a great thing, because those of us who
deal with corporate sustainability on a daily basis know we’re in uncharted
territory and that we’re all learning as we go. We understand it’s in every-
one’s best interest if the overall economy becomes more sustainable. After all,
when it comes to climate changes there aren’t winners and losers—ultimately
we’ll either all win or all lose.

For example, let’s say your company magically reduces the environmental
impact of its operations to nothing so that you’re able to deliver your products
and services with no impact of any kind. But in the excitement your company
decides that you have created such a big advantage through your eco-effective-
ness that you better keep it a secret and not share your magic with anyone else.
In this case, how much better off is the world? Does erasing the impact of one
company make a big difference? Unfortunately, no.
Which brings us to the subject of carbon neutrality, the term often used to
describe the goal of corporate efforts to lessen companies’ impact on the
environment. No company can reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to
zero, so the idea is that Organization A pays Organization B to plant trees,
increase energy efficiency, create green energy, or do something else with a
positive impact on GHG emissions, thus offsetting Organization A’s own car-
bon emissions.
Many companies have centered their environmental strategy on a goal of
achieving carbon neutrality. They are generally doing some efficiency proj-
ects, purchasing some green energy, and offsetting the rest. But we’ve been
looking at product and service lifecycles, and we know the part that’s within
your four walls may be only a small part of your overall impact. What about
your supply chain? What about your products in use at your customers’ facil-
ities? What about your products at the end of their usef ...

Green Rush: The Economic Imperative for SustainabilityCognizant
Green business is good business, according to our recent research, whether for companies monetizing tech tools used for sustainability or for those that see the impact of these initiatives on business goals.
Waste minimisation, carbon footprint reduction, eco-friendly packaging, safe and fair working conditions, and a commitment to human rights are widely regarded as the top 5 (HiveBrands) sustainable activities by consumers.
The world is beginning to realize that the climate crisis will be an enormous threat, far greater than the issues posed by the Covid epidemic. That means the buyers are increasingly influenced by "conscious customers," or individuals who consider issues like environmental impact and sustainability crucial when deciding which companies to support monetarily or professionally.
The Role of Green Marketing and Green Brand Image in Enhancing Purchase Inten...ijtsrd
People are starting to become aware by starting to buy products that do not add to the environmental damage. People also switch to buying products that use basic ingredients that do not damage the environment or in other words environmentally friendly materials. This article will discuss Green Marketing, Green Brand Image, and Green Perceive Value which are topics relevant to the current situation, where changing market trends created by consumers are very influential for the sustainability of the companys operations. Furthermore, this will affect the image of environmentally friendly and also the value obtained in making purchasing decisions. The thing that needs to be considered is how to convince consumers that what they are buying is an environmentally friendly product. Green marketing has several advantages, and because of these advantages, green marketing has good prospects for enhancing brand image as a choice of marketing strategy to enhance a companys brand image. Companies that implement green marketing certainly have some more value than conventional strategies.

Innovator Interview: Sandy Sanzero, Sandia National Laboratoriesfuturethink
futurethink had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Sandy Sanzero, Manager of Robotics, Intelligent Systems, and Cybernetics at Sandia National Laboratories, a division which was spun off as a separate department of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration. In 1945, the forerunner of Sandia Labs was known as the ‘Z’ division of Los Alamos Laboratory. Sandia Labs received an official congressional designation as a separate National laboratory in 1979. Sandia’s mission is to develop science–based technologies that support the United States’ national security. Dr. Sanzero offers insights on the need for dynamic drifting, how innovation must happen, and why StageGate is inhibiting breakthrough innovation.
In the current economic climate, the discipline of innovation is taking a different form. Leading organizations recognize the importance of investing in their future to be in a stronger competitive position in a post-economic crisis world. But what exactly are companies doing to stay ahead of the curve and how are they building their innovation programs to accomplish this?

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
