Understanding Sustainability

Key to Surviving and Thriving in the New Business Environment

Sustainability is still a difficult and confusing subject to address because it is an emergent property of a system. Most people don’t know ecological principles (the laws of life on Earth) or anything about systems, and, perhaps most critically, most of us do not realize how important these subjects are to our well-being.

Learn about why it is so difficult to think about and discuss sustainability and why it’s the key to surviving and thriving.

Business Management Tools for Sustainability and High Performance

Triple Bottom Line (TBL) businesses are based on a strategy that combines profitability with environmental stewardship and a social mission. Unfortunately, most business planning and management tools we are taught derive from an older, more simplistic way of doing business,  in which social and environmental costs are externalized, and profitability and cash flow are the only metrics that matter.

Dan will demonstrate how the Balanced Scorecard – a business planning and management tool used by over half of the Fortune 500 – can help you manage your business in a way that addresses social and environmental concerns as an integrated part of your business model.
