The Curitus Process
Our Approach
Partnering
We work in close consultation with you to understand your needs. We view our relationships as partners as we try our best to immerse ourselves in your mission, becoming an extension of your team. We analyze our clients’ industries to ensure their positioning is unique and impactful. Our approach is participatory and adaptive to changing operational environments to make sure that your needs are met.
Methodical
We take proven approaches to understand your needs and the impact of your organization. We will always champion objectivity, apply methodological rigor, offer support for compliance, and bring accountability for you to realize your goals. Through our structured assessments, we can methodically bring innovations to life while keeping your company’s mission top of mind.
Iterative
The hardest part is going from zero to one. Our approach in creating a strategy for you is to start simple and effective, then iteratively add complexity and sophistication over time. This way, your business or organization can evolve and innovate along the way, responding to ever-changing environments.
Ongoing Support
Your success is our success. While impact can take tim to achieve, we check in with you from time to time after the engagement process to provide coaching support.
Tools We Use
Design Thinking
Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success. It is a systematic approach to identify opportunities and build innovative solutions that centre around Empathy, Invention, and Iteration.
GRI Standards Methodology
Considered as one of the world’s most widely used standards for sustainability reporting, The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards create a common language for organizations – large or small, private or public – to report on their sustainability impacts in a consistent and credible way.
Sustainable Development Goals & UN Global Compact
These 17 Goals are set by the United Nations as a plan for achieving a better future for all to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect our planet. Curitus is a champion of and will advise companies towards adhering to the ten principles of the UN Global Compact.
Results-Based Management
Results-Based Management is a life-cycle approach to management that integrates strategy, people, resources, processes, and measurements to improve decision-making, transparency, and accountability of social impact programs. It helps programs to focus on the impact outcomes instead of falling into the ‘activity trap’
B Impact Assessment
The B Impact Assessment is a tool for companies to measure its impact on their workers, community, environment, and customers. It is the starting point for B Corp certification and will help you to know your impact footprint
