First the Strategies needed to initiate a business sustainability initiative will be addressed. The second part of the Star is the Structure of the business. Next the processes of a business will be addressed with an eye toward sustainability. This is an area where savings in terms of costs and time are enormous. Next the Rewards and Recognition System of the business will be addressed. This aspect is crucial for success. Finally the People of the business must be on board for sustainability to bring the results anticipated.
Part Three concentrates on implementation of a business sustainability initiative. The results to be expected are significant and reasonable if proper planning and implementation takes place. Emphasis is placed on the following areas. First, the three main components of sustainability are; People, Process and the Environment. The proper interaction of these three components will start with a compelling Vision. Examples of businesses with great Vision Statements are included. Next a quick overview is given with regard to implementation, operationalizing and finally transformation of the culture within the business.
Business sustainability is a mega-trend. It is a way for businesses to achieve long term success by focusing on people processes and the environment with traditional buisness results as a goal to be achieved.
The focus of this presentation is on the results to be expected from sustainability initiatives. As discussed in Part I, sustainability will be different from company to company and industry to industry. We will discuss some results achieved from a variety of companies in this presentation.
Notice the different industries and how sustainability can bring improved results to small, medium and large businesses.
There is not a clear definition of sustainability because it will mean different things to different businesses and different industries. Sustainability started out as part of the going “green” environmentally friendly movement. The purpose for many was to establish efforts from a business standpoint that helps to preserve our planet’s natural resources. However, it has evolved into much more than that. Sustainability is a megatrend that has turned into a viable business strategy which takes into account business sustainability, economic considerations, governmental issues, as well as strong opinions from customers and stakeholders.
Sustainability is not just for large businesses. A sustainability strategy properly planned and implemented will create a unique competitive advantage for any business.
This presentation will answer some of the most common questions concerning the utilization of SWOT Analysis:
1. When should it be utilized?
2. Who should be involved?
3. How is it conducted?
4. What is the end product or result expected?
SWOT Analysis is utilized as a way to kick start a plan of action designed to achieve a larger business objective or organizational goal. Implementation is crucial!

Presenter's Notes: If these arrows represent the behavior your people, it is not unusual to find people working at cross purposes without them even realizing it. They are busy doing what they think needs to be done on a day-to-day basis.Let me give you an example...We had one client where we were working with the President and his 6 direct reports. With the exception of 1 person who had ONLY been a member of the top team for 3 years, everyone else had been there at least 7. Most had spent their entire working career at that organization.We asked them to take a piece of paper and list the top five goals in priority order as they understood them. When we compiled their responses, there were 27 distinct entries with the Presidents 1st and 2nd not listed higher than 4th by any of his subordinatesWhat a shock to them. How can your people help you get somewhere efficiently and effectively if they dont know where you are headed?
