Free workshop – implementation challenges in sustainability

Successfully implementing sustainability in an organisation can be tricky.

Over the years I’ve worked with many organisations and seen the traps they can fall into, here are the top 5:

Trap #1
No (or poor) strategy – if you’re implementing the wrong things (however well) you’re not heading in the right direction

Trap #2
Poor strategic alignment – where activities won’t solve the symptoms, or relate weakly to business strategy

Trap #3
No or poor strategic support – where staff working in sustainability have little input to core strategy

Trap #4
Lack of leadership – or weak leadership failing to lead, or to connect with staff and processes

Trap #5
Little buy in – insufficient work put into including the relevant people & fostering their engagement.

If you’ve become ensnared in any of these traps – or are developing your approach and would like to avoid them, you can join me in Southampton on the 8th October in Terrafiniti’s implementation workshop to discover 5 further traps and:

• Identify some of the key challenges sustainability professionals face in turning their plans into practice,
• Identify why such challenges arise, and;
• Explore solutions and tactics for achieving successful implementation.
