Tiivistelmä
Nature loss is a major threat to the economy and businesses. Biodiversity enables healthy ecosystems without which businesses could not operate. Businesses play a key role in halting biodiversity loss but the vast majority of business leaders do not consider biodiversity loss as a focus area in the coming years.

The purpose of the thesis was to design a transformational learning concept on nature loss for business leaders. The development project was guided by questions addressing the factors influencing young business leaders’ commitment to integrate biodiversity loss to the strategies in their respective businesses and the learning needs they had. In the process also the key elements to an appealing and transformational learning concept on ecological sustainability were discovered.

The theoretical framework consists of systems thinking, sustainability transformation and transformational learning. The thesis focuses on worldviews, mindsets and values as strong leverage points for systems change, and seeks ways to catalyze a mindshift through learning. Intrinsic transformation i.e. values, beliefs, and worldviews have been a hitherto neglected aspect of sustainability transformation.

The development project was based on service design methods and followed the Double Diamond Process. In the design process, understanding the primary target users – young business leaders – was key to outlining the elements required for the creation of an appealing programme. Interviews, desktop research and co-creation workshops were the methods used in the process. The interviews were analyzed through content analysis.

For the young business leaders, an ideal learning experience involves understanding the big picture of the ecological crisis (biodiversity loss and climate change as intertwined problems), widening perspectives through multi-stakeholder dialogue and combining leadership skills and personal development to practical tools and case examples. As a result of the process, the essential elements of a transformational learning concept on sustainability were defined as critical (systemic), holistic and deep (intra-personal) and communicative and collaborative (inter-personal). Based on these elements, a prototype of the Leadership Programme on Planetary Boundaries was created.


The groundwork laid in this thesis helped to clarify and articulate the mission of the commissioning project, Puistokatu 4, as a whole. It provides a framework within which Puistokatu 4 can further develop their activities, events and concepts in a systematic way. The results can be utilized also in other organizations working on sustainability transformation and learning.
