Expressing business responsibility on a website

Separate goals, actions, evidence and unfinished work. State the scope of environmental or social measures and do not present intentions as achieved outcomes.

Beyond shareholder value: A new era of business

Putting planning and trade-offs into practice

Planning connects business goals to customer tasks and prioritised pages and functions. Separate confirmed needs, research hypotheses and future ideas.

Beyond shareholder value: A new era of business

Checking the result

Give near-term work inputs, an owner and an inspectable result before deciding the next step. Retain reasons for rejecting alternatives.
