lead and coordinate the integration of sustainability into strategy, planning and operations

Sustainability assessments, strategic action plans, and networked collaboration, are tools for organizations to improve and manage economic, social, and environmental performance.  Ultimately, sustainability reduces costs, turns waste into assets, creates a culture of innovation within operations and along the supply chain, results in new forms of profit creation, motivates employees, reduces negative environmental impacts, and engages the community to transform societal challenges into opportunities for increased wellbeing. 

I can benefit your business, community or community serving organization achieve its vision of sustainability through assistance in using a simple, but comprehensive, three-point sustainability framework.

Three-Point Sustainability Framework

1. Open: sustainability necessarily involves everyone

2. Systemic: sustainability integrates social, economic and environmental aspects

3. Collaboration: sustainability benefits from open networks that link and leverage resources

This three-point sustainability framework—guided by sustainability principles developed by The Natural Step and performance indicators developed by Ceres—provides a vehicle that organizations can steer to adapt to their unique mix of assets and needs over time.

I focus my work in four service streams.  My approach builds the internal capacity of your organization to continue success once my job is done.

For me, sustainability means the well being of our open and dynamic social, economic and environmental life support system.  Because all of us affect and are affected by this system we must learn to work together to solve our problems and develop opportunities as engrained practice. 

 

The main challenges to this level of cooperation have been Industrial Age mindsets, policies and practices that keep businesses, governments, NGOs, and citizens from working together in guided and purposeful ways to transform multidimensional challenges into opportunities for profit and social wellbeing.  

Now that the emerging Innovation Economy is driving wealth creation through open networks that value diverse value lenses and the free competition of ideas—innovation is coming from everywhere. 

 

I believe that society's ultimate expression of sustainability will come through open and guided networks that adapt to change and regenerate new ways of thinking and doing.
