The FSSD, with its principled definition of success and strategic approach, seemed most suited to integrate as it is described as helpful to address complex systemic challenges (Broman and Robèrt 2017) and thus integrates the fifth perspective of Lozano (2008). The FSSD has a broad long term perspective, rather than looking at the immediacy of problem solving in the ‘now’, and can therefore be described as strategic instead of tactical (Broman and Robèrt 2017). In addition to the Triple Bottom Line framework, the FSSD offers a clear boundaried definition of sustainability, and an ecologically dominant nested approach (Broman and Robèrt 2017). The FSSD also provides us with a common, principle based definition of sustainability, and therefore a common language surrounding these issues. Too often debate over how to plan around complex issues results in disagreement over details, distracting us from the larger goal at hand. By establishing a common definition of sustainability and a framework in which to organize details, the FSSD helps us to handle trade-offs among those details and keep us steered on course towards the bigger goal
