Identify Arcadis to develop a sustainable growth strategy. Using information provided by the organisation in Arcadis website (https://www.arcadis.com/) and your own research, produce a strategic consultancy report which:
- Evaluates the concept of sustainable value considering a range of stakeholders of the organisation,

- Identifies and critically assess the innovations that can contribute to improvements in creating sustainable business performance for the organisation,
- Presents an effective communication plan and strategy for influencing successful implementation.
Please ensure the report addresses the following points:
- Identify between 6-8 key elements, areas, or opportunities (Digital Engineering, Technical Engineering, Finance, MEP Resourcing, Career Development and Early Career Training Programme) that can directly inform strategic, sustainable value creation in your business/organisation and justify your choices with reference to the key literature on sustainability in business.
- Prioritise 3-5 of your chosen elements, or opportunities, (Technical Engineering, Finance, MEP Resourcing and Career Development) that can directly inform strategic value creation for sustainability within your business/organisation. Drawing on key principles and methods of systems thinking, create a Sustainable Value Map, or model, in the format of your choosing. This Sustainable Value Map, or model also considers the ways in which these value elements relate to stakeholders, how they affect each other and how they may impact the wider business/ organisational system, if such value creating opportunities are effectively implemented.
- Critically examine both the positive and negative impacts of addressing those opportunities for innovation supporting sustainable business development that you have identified, within the organisation of your choosing. Draw on other, relevant literature related to the leadership of change in support of sustainable development, which sets out potential impacts on stakeholders, processes and systems, to justify your response.
- Finally, having considered the key benefits and risks of your value creation opportunity(ies) within the business/organisation, conclude this report with a series of recommendations, associated practical next steps and timeframes for implementation in support of these key value creation recommendations, as well as effective communication plans and strategies to influence the successful implementation of your plans and recommendations.
