Concerns about the societal and environmental impact of how companies operate have generated increasing interest on more sustainable ways of doing business. Research and practice from the past decade shows that a Business Model Innovation lens is suitable to embed sustainability into firms\u2019 objectives and operations. Consequently, Sustainable Business Model Innovation has been emerging rapidly as a research field. Recent developments in this field are building upon seminal work on Design for Sustainability from the past two decades to establish a connection with Strategic Design. Strategic Design is a research stream and innovation approach that studies how to leverage the discipline of Design in the context of Strategy and Innovation Management. More specifically, it is about applying the practices (ways of working), methods, and tools of Designers to help organizations gaining competitive advantage by balancing desirability (what customers want), feasibility (what is technologically possible) and viability (what is financially possible). The connection between Sustainable Business Model Innovation and Strategic Design is mainly supported by the bottom-line argument that Design\u2019s strategic and experimental nature allows for the integration of stakeholder objectives including sustainability concerns while also providing the process dimension needed to move away from theory towards concrete practice and tangible impact. However, research on the role and contributions of Strategic Design to Sustainable Business Modeling is still in its infancy. Consequently, the goal of this track is to collect contributions from both academics and practitioners that address the following questions:
\n\u2022 Theory: How can Strategic Design theory inform novel approaches for Sustainable Business Model Innovation?
\n\u2022 Practice: Which Strategic Design practices, methods and tools can be used to integrate Sustainability into the Business Modeling process?
\n\u2022 Impact: What are the sustainability outcomes of implementing Strategic Design into the Business Modeling process?<\/p>\n
