Strategy: Charting Your Course

Our strategic engagements evaluate your company's aspirations, processes, and productivity, and identify hidden opportunities to recover the lost profit embedded in "waste" of all kinds, and chart a practical, profitable path to measurable results.

We start by mapping your strategic landscape, identifying the risks and opportunities – both current and emerging – that are critical for your organization, and evaluating your capacity to respond to them.

Strategic engagements may include:

• Strategic Briefings: Customized, confidential briefings for your executive team on key trends and emerging issues.
• Strategic analysis: Comprehensive assessment of the business risks and opportunities that sustainability represents for your organization.
• Best Practices Benchmarking: benchmarking and gap analyses to critically evaluate programs against both competitors and shifting market expectations
• Integrated EcoAudit: Systematic analysis of your company’s facilities and operations, identifying and profitable opportunities to reduce environmental footprint.
• EcoEfficiency/EcoEffectiveness Assessments: Systematic on-the-ground assessments identifying improvement opportunities that have reduced “waste” and saved energy, greenhouse gases, water and money at more than 100 companies to date, in a wide range of industries
• Capacity assessments: evaluating aspirations, awareness and capacity for effective change
• Strategy formation: developing profitable and implementable strategies for embedding sustainability as an innovation and performance driver for both private sector and public sector organizations
• Goal setting: Set powerful goals -- sufficient to the challenges and opportunities you face – that align deepest aspirations and business imperatives
• Carbon Management: Analysis of greenhouse gas emissions and development of baseline carbon footprint, along with strategies for reducing climate impact —and doing so in ways that turn a liability into an asset.
• Economic Development Strategy: Assessment of energy and materials flows to help cities and regions identify opportunities to generate economic growth while preserving quality of life.

Set the powerful goals that enable your team to adapt and thrive in the uncertain futures we all face.
