The University of Queensland (UQ) Business School's most recent Thought Leadership Webinar in partnership with KPMG disucussed: Planting the seed – strategies reshaping business success within ecological limits.

Did you know Australia already overshot its ecological budget by 22 March 2021? This means we’ve consumed more ecological resources than the country can regenerate in a year.

A key trend of strategic planning that considers the Earth’s limited resources is gaining momentum in the corporate world. Innovative organisations are moving to new business models, industry partnerships and collaborations to redefine what success looks like.

Business disruption during the pandemic has meant enterprises are reassessing what KPIs really matter for longevity. Factors such as staff wellbeing, resilience-building and finite resource planning are vital for long-term business success. Profit can no longer be used as a key metric of success when taking a forward-focused approach.

So, how do enterprises succeed within ecological limits?
