One of the challenges with sustainable development seems to be that we often do not have a common understanding of what we mean by sustainability and sustainable development. Sustainability issues are complex and transdisciplinary which creates problems both for academics and practitioners to understand the system worked with and its main sustainability impacts. Most of us want to have a sustainable working place, but what does it mean? What we cannot understand we cannot define and measure. Not being able to measure core sustainability performance makes work with sustainable development less effective. Visualisation for better sense making could be one way to facilitate defining and measuring sustainability to enable better leadership of sustainable development. Based on previous work with Process Based System Models and the logical sequence of Understanding-Defining-Measuring-Communicating-Leading this paper tries to improve sensemaking for sustainable development generally. This is done by applying the current theory and understanding on an ongoing multinational and multi-disciplinary research project with alternative binders for building blocks in Sub Saharan Africa. The issue to be tested is, if the proposed system models can highlight overall opportunities that then can be related to operational goals in different contexts. The proposed visualisation will be later tested in a series of common workshops for verifying the sense making strength of the visualisation.
