This paper reports on preliminary testing of the “Self-Transformation Methodology” (STM) to rebalance an organisational structure in order to improve the effectiveness of corporate sustainability (CS) strategy implementation. It presents the results of a pilot study where it was possible to align CS strategy and organisational structure, clarifying the required adapting and learning organisational processes and closing the learning loop by continuously monitoring sustainability indicators during this process. Additionally, it reflects on the learning and needs for further developments of the methodology. This research contributes to CS and system thinking literature with an approach to address the challenges of integrating CS initiatives into the operation of a firm. The STM methodology has shown good potential for creating a more effective context for CS strategy implementation. The research scope is limited, and in consequence, more action research is required to fully apply the adjusted methodology to further corroborate the initial findings.

企业生存能力和可持续性：墨西哥公司的案例研究

本文报告了“自我转型方法论”（STM）的初步测试，以重新平衡组织结构，以提高企业可持续发展（CS）战略实施的有效性。它展示了一项试点研究的结果，其中可以调整 CS 战略和组织结构，阐明所需的适应和学习组织过程，并通过在此过程中持续监控可持续性指标来关闭学习循环。此外，它反映了该方法的进一步发展的学习和需求。这项研究为 CS 和系统思维文献提供了一种解决将 CS 举措整合到公司运营中的挑战的方法。STM 方法已显示出为 CS 战略实施创造更有效环境的良好潜力。研究范围有限，因此需要更多的行动研究来充分应用调整后的方法，以进一步证实初步研究结果。
