ABSTRACT
Performance benchmarks are needed that calibrate what has been achieved in relation to what could have been achieved in the circumstances. Critical here is that such an approach bases its assessment on the will and ability to mobilize learning into relevant knowledge so that it can be and is effectively applied. In this way, the over-arching aspirational pathway and outcome of sustainable development can be meaningfully translated into a dynamic organizational form with real traction in terms of performance assessment, decision-making and accountability.
