Sustainability: business, life, environment

Have you seen the new Windows 7 commercial in which the consumer proclaims, ‘faster wake-up was my idea’?  Well faster business sustainability wake-up in 2010 is my idea!!!

Every January I am surprised by the slow wake-up of business world after the holidays.  It seems as though we are well into February before the wheels really start rolling again.  My personal enthusiasm for broadening eco awareness and the expansive possibilities I foresee for this New Year have me energized about the advantage available to early-movers.

With the changing landscape of business and greater evidence now pointing to sustainability as critical component to future business success, companies that are ready to get going in January can make some quick progress.  While the rest of the business world is still recovering from the holiday slow-down, business sustainability planning and resource alignment can place proactive organizations distinctly ahead of the competition.   Our sustainability consulting encourages clients to:

•    Review 2009 performance as an opportunity for sustainable improvements.

•    Focus on what you want to achieve in the coming year.

•    Encourage stakeholder discussion in business change.

•    Get employees reengaged in the business sustainability direction in the first month of the year through clear communication.

•    Create motivation and enthusiasm to get innovative thinking and business sustainability implementations rolling.

No matter if your organization is just becoming familiar with sustainability concepts or is a business sustainability leader in the industry, there is value in getting started early.  Determining the areas of focus that will have the greatest business sustainability impact in 2010 and engaging the right resources early is a great place to begin the year’s sustainability journey.
