A Thriving Business Community

Wednesday, January 21, 2009 by Julie Urlaub
While most businesses may recognize the impacts of their decisions, not all have seen the value in the bigger picture.  The link between business sustainability and a thriving community is more visible today than at any time in recent past.

At Taiga Company, we view business sustainability to be directly tied to the sustainability of the community in which a business operates.

The corporate leaders of today are seizing the value of the community.  Companies like Timberland are taking a step beyond philanthropy  to leverage the value-ties to the local communities. 

Taiga Company works with clients to leverage this community link.  We help our clients capture value from positive relationships by focusing on the people, businesses, and organizations who are so closely tied to their own success.  Our professional and personal consulting works with clients to:

  • Recognize a thriving local community as being essential to business sustainability.
  • Incorporate supporting strategies and a governance structures into their core business.
  • Align business actions to support the local community goals and objectives.
  • Engage the local community as a key stakeholder in business planning.
  • Embrace long-term partnerships within the local community.
  • Defined performance metrics to measure the impacts on the community.

A plan for business sustainability recognizes that no one business stands alone.  All companies exist in a matrix of value adding relationships: with employees, with supporting organizations, and with peer companies. 

When building your business sustainability plan, remember the value of the community.
