In any pursuit, especially one requiring significant change, there must be a demonstrated and measureable mark of progress. Just like in our formative years, the grades we received in school (good or bad) helped determine our retained knowledge and our progress to the next level. This too applies to the business world.
At Taiga Company, our professional consulting services recognize that one of the keys to a successful implementation of a sustainable business model is the management of change. We work with clients, to not only manage the steps, but to celebrate the success along the way.
Setting milestones is a great means of communicating progress to an organization:
- Cerebrate and communicate the company’s sustainability strategy, including clearly stated policies, integration into core business, and links to profitability.
- Recognize the sustainability leaders within the organization
- Announce regular updates to program management and tracking systems, including training and/ or certification opportunities for employees.
But don’t stop there!
As a provider of business resources, Taiga Company's experience dictates that regardless of the business model - be it promoting eco awareness or something more traditional- that change requires the involvement of the entire organization. Managing change requires specific actions for organizational buy-in. Recognition of individual efforts is needed.
- Recognize and reward the creation of specific value from sustainability defined from within organization
- Celebration and promote the creation of a group or individual sustainability plan that succeeds
- Reward value creation and business sustainability within the company’s supply chain.
- Re-engineer the business and performance metrics of the organization, creating a direct tie to compensation
Managing change is often a forgotten step in the process, but it is possibly the most important. Our professional consulting advises clients to communicate milestones and recognize and reward specific actions alone the way.
