Highlight and encourage positive design behaviors.
Help designers improve sustainability by focusing on successful innovation strategies.
Give your designers a head start. Innovation isn't a mystery. There are proven strategies for your type of products. Our dashboards measure success against company goals, and our innovation table recasts performance against proven innovation strategies.
Look through an innovation lens. By viewing performance with an innovation lens, designers are much clearer about how to better engineer and optimize the inevitable sustainability tradeoffs in a design.
The how is as important as the what. Many of our clients have designers explain what they did, what they didn't do, what they couldn't do and what they might be able to do in future. This data becomes a valuable knowledge base for future innovations. And helps drive insights across the portfolio.
Why not? You can "force" designers to confront targets at a micro level. It's an implicit challenge. Why can't this material be from 100% recycled content? Start with the most sustainable option and work backwards, not the other way around.
Compare yourself to best practices. The world in changing. You have competitors that are innovating. The materials, parts and technologies you use are improving from a sustainability standpoint. Footprinter helps you keep up with all that.
