These attributes, known as focus factors, have been summarized in this document. The theoretical framework as well as the chosen Design Science Research (DSR) methodology is detailed in the Journal Articles referenced below. There is a web-based and an Android-based version of the THRIVE sustainability performance scorecard (SPS) tool available upon registering. Illustrative data is used in the examples provided.

All those who register for the evaluation, will be asked to participate in a semi-structured interview and provided with the results of the study. The final study results are being presented mid-2020 at a major conference in Europe. We encourage you to participate, with your input recognized (unless indicated otherwise).
