Abstract: An organization with its capacity to endure, add value and promote value chain could be seen as a sustainable organization. Sustainability could be in the form of short-medium-and-long term effect to an entity. To an organization, in this global economic crisis and increased competition, long term sustainability means to be able to compete, gain margin, and add knowledge, notwithstanding mere survival. Through the utilization of the information and communication technology, organizations are now can adopt various business techniques to tackle or minimize risks, reduce costs, and make profit. Among many such techniques, this particular research looks into the aspects of agility within organizations that may lead to sustained business platform. This paper tries to argue that an organization with this characteristic, in the longer run, can lead to sustainability and elevate the business intelligence. In discourse, through a vertical literature review, this study has tried to construct a framework of sustainability with this aspect of an organization and thereby proposed a business model for ideation and future implementation. The research intends to add values to operational capability of an organization, especially considering challenging situations, such as lack of awareness, low financial capability, and high risk of investment within the social and organizational eco-systems.
