Making it Happen: How Implementation Science Can Close the Corporate Sustainability Gap
Most sustainability strategies fail — not because organisations lack ambition, but because they lack implementation.
Making It Happen: How Implementation Science Can Close the Corporate Sustainability Gap reveals why progress stalls and provides a clear, evidence-based roadmap to turn intent into impact.
Drawing on two decades of sustainability leadership, Professor Chris Harrop OBE introduces the tools, systems, and human-centred practices that make change stick:
- Implementation Science frameworks (CFIR, RE-AIM)
- The Human Centricity Model
- Trust diagnostics and culture design
- Real-world case studies
- Practical delivery checklists and diagnostics
This is the missing discipline in corporate sustainability — a guide for leaders, practitioners, and educators ready to move beyond promises and deliver real-world results.
Truth Well Told. Trust Well Earned. Impact Delivered.
An E Bookj writted by Professor Chris Harrop OBE, We don’t have a sustainability problem — we have an implementation problem. Across every sector, organisations make confident commitments: net-zero plans, ESG targets, circularity roadmaps. Yet delivery remains inconsistent, fragmented, and painfully slow. The ambition–action gap widens every year. This book explains why — and how to fix it. In Making It Happen, Professor Chris Harrop OBE that introduces Implementation Science to the business world: a proven discipline from healthcare and public policy that shows how to embed change, scale solutions, and create systems that learn, adapt, and endure.
