“Sustainability is an emerging megatrend… megatrends require businesses to adapt and innovate or be swept aside.”
Harvard Business Review, May 2010
Businesses are increasingly realising the need to address the sustainability agenda in their organisation, but trying to figure out where to start and how to create the opportunity out of their green journey. That’s where we think a little differently – using our five years of experience, we take the complexity out of that journey, and help organisations to realise the benefits faster.
Drivers
Whatever your drivers for becoming more sustainable – competitive advantage, happier staff, cost reduction or compliance being the most common reasons – we develop a programme to change your whole organization.
Enablers
For effective change to occur we tackle the four organisational components:
- People – Providing knowledge and motivation to act in a particular way
- Organisation – Organisation structure & incentives to allow and encourage employees to act in a particular way
- Process – Businesses processes which are efficient and sustainable
- Technology – Technology which supports the businesses processes and people
All need to be considered to produce an effective sustainability change programme.
Given that every organisation is unique, we use the one thing that is the same: that people with the right motivation and knowledge with the right organisational structure and incentives will be able to identify opportunities for process and technology change. Our approach is therefore to first change your people and organisation, so that they can identify the process and technology changes required.
