Cambridge Enterprise: Centre for Resilience and Sustainable Development
The Centre for Resilience and Sustainable Development CRSD brings together leaders from the public, private and third sectors with academic thought leaders to create robust new, workable solutions to some of the world’s most complex challenges. CRSD use tools and innovative techniques which cut across systems, organisational and behavioural science.
Their research and robust tools support stakeholders to co-create sustainable and resilient solutions in the following areas:
- Sustainable Investment – bringing together investors, investees and regulators to identify and share best practices that drive sustainable investment.
- Good Governance – we co-create policies and strategies for systems changes to identify power relationships and institutional formats to make them work. We test intended and unintended consequences to improve outcomes.
- Responsible Innovation – we help to support and accelerate leadership and business models which support key transitional initiatives across global value chains.
CRSD are dedicated to transdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, as well as ‘action research’ to utilise cutting edge analysis and project design to deliver effective, transformative and resilient outcomes for governments and industry.
They highly value experiential knowledge, viewing it as a valuable asset in the action-research process. CRSD also believe that training practitioners in systems based thinking is an important part of our role as researchers.
