Analysis and Strategic Worksheets
An important challenge for anyone who wants to drive consumption in a more sustainable direction is how to get their ideas and initiatives to spread.
This means being able to engage the consumer throughout its transformation, as well as being able to adapt its messaging based on different consumer profiles because these value messaging about sustainability in very different ways.
As a brand, to cope with this, an understanding of what drives the consumer to adapt, or not adapt, their consumption to a more sustainable lifestyle is required. What gives status, what creates anxiety, what impresses and what attracts.
Above The Clouds Future Series
Our purpose with Above The Clouds Future Series about the Sustainable Consumer is to create a better understanding for why and how consumers do, or do not, incorporate sustainability issues into their consumption pattern, what influence them and what triggers the NXT Sustainable Consumer.
I’m specialised in consumer centric sustainability and help brands understand global drivers, value changes, and macro trends and how that could be defined into their strategic platform and turned into a roadmap of sustainability actions.

The NXT Sustainable Consumer Report 2023
Consumer expectations are rising and values are changing. Sustainability regulations are trying to keep up. Technology are evolving at a rapid pace, creating new opportunities and challenges. Market fragmentation is everywhere. But even in the midst of so much change, one truth remains - the best brands understand their customers, how to engage and amuse them while still deliver value.
Strategic foresight is the most valuable tool you can adopt to identify and chart a course for future sustainable growth and long-term prosperity.
Sustainable Consumer Readiness Archetypes
Our purpose with establishing the Sustainable Consumer Readiness Index and archetypes, is to create a better understanding for how consumers readiness and approach to sustainability as a life-concept differs between a set of archetypes and profiles. Here you find a description of five different consumer profiles with an in-depth look at the three "green" profiles and their approach to sustainability. Which values govern and what drives them to make more sustainable choices. Description of how big the groups are in Sweden and Denmark and how they differ between population and Gen-Z.
These are the profiles you need to engage with to thrive in the NXT sustainable world. Dedicated Pioneers, Anxious Activists, Eco-Swingers, Sceptical Spectators, Sustainability Zombies
Gen-Z Sustainability:
Status, Anxiety, and Eco-Sexual attraction
The value chart by the younger Gen-Z consumer identifies a form of sustainability status where knowledge of sustainability is something they values highly, seeks to have more of, is impressed by those who teach it, and is attracted to those who have it and live by it. At the same time, they lack the knowledge to make the right choices and worry about being judged by their friends if they do wrong, as well as they genuinely worry about the future of the planet. This paradox creates a paralysing effect where the Gen-Z consumer want to do the right thing, but lack he tools and knowledge to do so, and this could act as a barrier thus paralysed in their sustainability actions.

Eco-Socialism Versus
Eco-Authoritarian Future’s
Around the world, in recent years we have been able to follow a political paradigm shift. On the one hand, it has created a neo-collectivist movement where de-growth and eco-socialism flourish. But on the other hand, we see that only five percent of the population in Sweden and Denmark think that the democratically elected politicians are doing a good job of solving the climate crisis.
Instead, every second citizen states that they could support a more eco-authoritarian leader who alone gains power in to solve the climate crisis.
