Stakeholder interviews, surveys, and exhaustive market analyses provided a wealth of data. This information was helped crystallize the project scope and refine the platform’s features to align closely with future user expectations. With the insights gained from the research phase, the project is now poised for success with a commitment to creating a platform that addresses critical ESG challenges. We reviewed an updated project roadmap and timeline outlining the milestones for the upcoming phases. This step was pivotal in ensuring that everyone was on the same page regarding the project’s progress and expected outcomes. What’s on the Horizon: The Next Phases With the research phase now concluded, the ESG Digital Platform project will gear up for the next step–the Platform Design and Validation phase. The Design and Validation phase will see the actual design and development of the platform, focusing on ensuring that it aligns perfectly with the needs identified during the research phase.

• MVP design: The Minimum Viable Product design will provide a functional platform version, allowing initial testing and feedback.
• Business model design: Developing a sustainable business model is key to the platform’s long-term success. This phase will explore different monetization strategies and revenue streams.
• Strategy and business plan development: A comprehensive strategy and business plan will guide the project’s growth and future expansion.

As we look forward to the platform’s design, validation, and development, the collaboration between the project team and the Steering Committee remains the linchpin of success. This collaboration will lay the foundation for a powerful tool to drive positive change in ESG and sustainability. We will update our stakeholders periodically as the ESG Digital Platform project continues to unfold and begins to make strides towards a more sustainable future.
