| Abstract | The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a bold aspiration for a sustainable, prosperous and equitable future. There is universal agreement that the goals cannot be achieved by 2030 on a business-as-usual trajectory, and that we need new agents of change, such as business, government and civil society. An array of tools and frameworks have recently been developed to support organisations in engaging with the SDGs. However, it is not understood if these tools/frameworks can enable transformative actions. This study used a scoping methodology to review the tools available to organisations for SDG action. These tools were then analysed against a generic model of the strategic management' process, in order to determine their usefulness in impacting organisational strategy. It was found that most of the tools are only applicable to mapping' and reporting' activities, which occur after strategies have been developed and even implemented. A small number of tools were found to align with the early stages of strategic management, that is, problem definition' and goal setting'. No tools were identified which substantially engaged with actual strategy development, the stage which can shape transformative change. This gap indicates how future research could address organisational strategy, to foster as-of-yet unexplored SDG action. |
