In view of the urgency to respond to sustainability issues, the Textile & Design Research Group at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts wants to systematically link its applied research to the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the future. How can the change in strategy be accomplished in view of the complexity of the SDGs as well as the agile organizational structure? In the course of data collection and analysis, the author and collaborator's thesis is confirmed that her colleagues can only be activated for the strategy change by locating themselves, but also their projects, with regard to the SDGs. As a result, she develops two tools (team visualizations and canvas) that locate and make visible project work, personal development and strategy development in alignment with the SDGs.
