Sustainable Procurement in a Pandemic : a Case Study in Pragmatic Research
As organisations and Governments seek to tackle environmental, social, and economic issues, the role of the Procurement function has never been more important for driving sustainability throughout supply chains. In the UK's largest employee-owned organisation, sustainable procurement had not been a priority leaving both opportunity and risk unaddressed. Existing behaviours of Procurement professionals in the organisation did not consider sustainable procurement a priority as they balanced competing demands for commercial and operational deliverables. Through this research, I sought to influence sustainable procurement attitudes and behaviours to create improved outcomes. This research used a blended model of appreciative inquiry and action research to explore pragmatic change. Pragmatism provided the research paradigm, and a decision-making approach that resulted in an exploration of the implications of pragmatism for organisational change. This thesis articulates how the research was tested by factors outside of its control, and how pragmatism enabled progress despite the many and significant challenges faced.

Infraestructuras: arquitectura, ingeniería y pragmatismo
Partiendo de los enunciados, tan consoladores como falsos, de nuestro tiempo el autor se adentra en una descripción de las necesidades y los recursos puestos en juego para alimentar el progreso humano en el momento actual. Se trata de un repaso exhaustivo y holístico de la cantidad de trabajo y energía puestos en marcha en el comercio mundial: desde las materias que circulan por el planeta en containers y grandes buques, al agua como gran recurso del futuro ambicionado por todos los gobiernos. Todo el sistema sigue sustentado en tres palabras: producción, suministro y consumo. Esta visión, que incluye el Talón de Aquiles de una descarbonización imposible con los medios actuales, ofrece por otra parte notables oportunidades para los arquitectos en cuanto plantea la transformación del planeta y sus infraestructuras: no hay Arte sin trabajo, ni sin conexiones profundas con los medios de producción, con la materia y la vida de una época. El autor termina acudiendo a su propia trayectoria personal releyendo como aquellos primeros trabajos y su consideración en clave cultural le valió un merecido espaldarazo internacional.
