Changing to a sustainable enterprise is more complex and challenging than traditional organizational change efforts. The results of such efforts will only be as effective as the collective and directed understanding and action of its members. This program will explore the human elements of change: how does one introduce change toward sustainability into an organization? What are the fundamental steps for a successful change effort? How is critical mass developed for a sustainability initiative and how is it maintained over time? Practical strategies and approaches for leading and managing change will be presented and illustrated with current examples of companies moving toward sustainable business practices.
