Is your company or non-profit ready to meet the challenges in becoming a successful sustainable organization?
Are you prepared to take on the role of a sustainability leader?
Championing Sustainability is a one day "creative forum:" an interactive collaborative exploration of what it means to lead sustainability efforts. The outcomes of this one day forum are:
- Help you understand key principles for sustainability and how to begin incorporating them into your organization
- Introduce you to diverse frameworks to assist you in generating innovative ideas and strategies
- Launch you on the design of a sustainable strategy for your own organization using creative and systemic processes
- Enable you to lead strategic conversations as a core sustainability competence
Sustainability and organizational success are closely linked. The challenge is to focus on an integrated bottom line to create economic, social and environmental value at the same time. To see the possibilities for working, learning, and living more balanced and fulfilling lives through the business we lead we must begin by thinking anew. A collaborative and whole systems approach to the design of processes, structures and products is now essential to produce thriving businesses, communities, and ecosystems. This creative forum will give you practical guidelines and will take your knowledge and skills to the next level for championing sustainability.
