ABSTRACT
The “spokes” of the Sustainability Wheel represent the channels that connect the mission/vision (strategic, sustainability, project) values to the “hub” of the Wheel. While the hub must be very strong in order for the Wheel to, quoting Chapter 2, “smoothly support the bumps in the road and traverse the inevitable ‘road hazards’ that could block our organization’s path to a sustainable future,” the spokes need to be strong and tight to ensure that the organization’s mission/vision (Respect) and its mission/vision are “heard” (Connect). The reflect dimension tests to see whether organizational artifacts, including the organization’s mission/vision, corporate social responsibility, sustainability mission/vision, sustainability roadmap, and environmental management plan (EMP), are being communicated, accepted, and practiced. It specifically targets those groups of people who need to be connected: project managers, program managers, and portfolio managers for instance.
