🎙️ Had a fantastic time listening to the latest episode of Sustaining Success: A Sustainability World Cup Podcast, featuring Dr. Gulen Hashmi, Lecturer in Responsible Business Management at Glasgow Caledonian University. The conversation was packed with actionable insights on sustainable business value creation and the essential role of mindset in embedding sustainability within organizations.
🔑 Here are my top 3 takeaways:
Sustainable Value Is More Than Profit: True sustainable business value requires both economic and societal impact. As Dr. Hashmi shared, “It used to be only the economic concern in the past… now we need to also take into account the environment and the society while we are trying to create economic value.”
Mindset & Values Drive Sustainable Action: The journey starts with instilling a sustainability-driven mindset in both students and faculty. “They cannot implement sustainable practices unless they believe in it and discover their own value systems,” emphasized Dr. Hashmi.
Simulations Make Learning Stick: Games and simulations like ‘Sustain to Win’ are essential for helping learners understand the interconnectedness of sustainability decisions—and for making the subject engaging and memorable. “Simulations are so helpful… They also help students work in groups and develop collaborative skills, which are much needed in the sustainability domain.”
If you're interested in practical strategies to embed sustainability in your business or educational programs, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Hashmi’s passion for developing the next generation of sustainable leaders really shines through!

🎙️ Had an inspiring conversation on the latest episode of the Sustaining Success: A Sustainability World Cup Podcast with Fiona Wright, founder of CT Futures and one of this year’s Sustainability World Cup winners!
Fiona brought such a thoughtful perspective on what it really means to drive sustainability—not just as a business outcome, but as a collaborative, transformational process. Her energy and candor made this discussion a real highlight.
✳️ Here are 3 key takeaways I’d love everyone in my network to consider:
Purposeful Play Accelerates Learning
Fiona shared how gamified experiences (like the Sustainability World Cup simulation) created space for her team to play, experiment, and bond. As adults, we often overlook the importance of ‘play’—but it’s key to unlocking innovation and deeper team engagement.
Balancing Vision with Agility
Sustainability isn’t just about thinking ahead. It’s about being willing to shift strategies, learn from what’s happening in real time, and adapt—even when the path isn’t clear. The tension between incremental steps and transformational leaps came up again and again.
Team Chemistry is Everything
“Find yourself a team”—that was one of Fiona’s core messages. Through the World Cup, she discovered new strengths within her team and even found a future hire! Teamwork, alignment, and enjoying who you work with cannot be understated on the journey toward sustainability.
If you’re interested in actionable leadership, systems thinking, and how purposeful learning environments can build stronger teams, I truly encourage you to give this episode a listen.
A huge thank you to Fiona for sharing her wisdom and to Ed Bradford and Leila Bardasuc for co-hosting. And if you want to learn more about the Sustainability World Cup, check out www.the-swc.com.

🌍 Thrilled to share insights from our recent episode of the Sustaining Success podcast: “A Sustainability World Cup podcast with Jose Manuel del Pino.” I had the honor of co-hosting a discussion with Stuart Webb and Dr. Leila Lunguleac-Bardasuc, joined by Jose Manuel del Pino—university professor, program director, and champion of gamification in sustainability education.
Jose shared invaluable perspectives on why gamification is a game-changer for building sustainability skills and fostering real-world impact. Here are my top 3 takeaways:
🔹 Gamification Sparks Engagement: Integrating points, leaderboards, and challenges into complex subjects like sustainability boosts student motivation and participation—transcending age and background.
🔹 Simulated Environments Build Skills Safely: Realistic educational games allow learners to experiment, make decisions, and see consequences—developing critical thinking and problem-solving without real-world risk.
🔹 Sustainability Must Be Everywhere: Embedding sustainability principles in education at every level—from elementary schools to corporate learning—is no longer optional. It’s essential to equip future professionals with the mindset and skills our planet needs.
Jose reminded us: the Sustainability World Cup isn’t just a competition—it’s a superhero academy, empowering a new generation to create a better, more sustainable future.
Let’s keep growing this movement together! 💚

We are thrilled to bring you the latest insights from our podcast, "Sustaining Success: A Sustainability World Cup Podcast." Our recent episode features the incredible Jordi Alemany, a Forbes top business influencer and mentor who shared his unique perspective on humanizing business for sustainable growth.
In this episode, Jordi enlightened us with concepts that challenge the dehumanized approach many businesses unconsciously adopt. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on the people behind the scenes, pointing out that while tools and processes are important, nothing runs without committed individuals.
Jordi views businesses as a combination of people, processes, and tools—with people being the most crucial—and this idea resonates with the quote, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." He delves into how businesses can incorporate this humanizing trend to build long-standing cultures that embrace ownership, reduce fear of mistakes, and ultimately enhance productivity.
Furthermore, as a judge for this year's Sustainability World Cup, Jordi will bring these concepts to the forefront, challenging participants to leverage internal diversity to drive sustainability. This approach, inspired by biological and anthropological principles, promotes 'internal pollination' and underscores the significance of strategic randomness in business innovation.
Jordi also shared insights from his book series, culminating in "El Efecto Laser," which focuses on tying self-leadership and team leadership back to acquiring tangible results through purposeful pursuits.
Our upcoming Sustainability World Cup event in Malaga is an unmissable opportunity for anyone passionate about advancing sustainable business practices. Remember to register by April 9 to participate in this transformative experience. Sponsorship opportunities are also available, granting you unparalleled access to insightful minds like Jordi Alemany.
