Overview

The introduction of sustainable business practices is an organizational change that demands creative leadership and action. But early progress tends to be qualitative, and, therefore, invisible to the quantitative measures most companies rely on for accountability. As a result, sustainability leaders may struggle to maintain support for their efforts.

In this workshop, we will use a creative process to develop effective strategies for assessing qualitative progress in sustainability initiatives. Participants will leave with a strategic plan of their own making, a support group of fellow participants, and a three-month commitment from the instructor for hands-on coaching.
