Is your company seeking to move up the business sustainability scale?  Are you searching for that singular ‘silver bullet’ or ‘quick fix’ that will solve a specific problem? Or is the organization and its management committed to a more continuous learning mindset change?  

The reality is that executives too often focus on the ‘quick fix’ that will bridge the obstacles faced in the moment, with a simple goal to get back to ‘business as usual’.  The questions might include: How do we mitigate this environmental/social risk, or how do we patch this hole in our supply?    In this case, sustainability action shows up as a ‘fix’ instead of a ‘change’.  Our professional consulting experience has shown that true business sustainability does not result from singular action.  Determining the criteria and right-fit tools that will move the company further along the business sustainability learning curve requires long-term commitment to change.   •    Sustainable business strategies to bridge the gap to what you want to achieve.   •    Commitment to enable the organization and its stakeholders to take inspired action.    •    Commitment to engage with and clearly communicate an action plan to your business stakeholders.   Click here to continue reading.
