Leading Change Dinner: December 3, 2009
How to be More Systematic & Strategic with CSR: December 3, 2009 from 6:00 – 8:00 PM, featuring guest speaker Carol Sanford
Cost: $10 covers dinner and beverages
Companies are ready to move beyond an isolated function and program, and integrate CSR and Sustainability into their strategic direction with a systemic methodology for delivering it into every act of the business. They need a systemic framework to guide them.
A recent MIT Sloan School report (Sept 2009) based on research with executives and sustainability leaders confirmed that companies want to develop new capabilities and characteristics, including:
* The ability to operate on a system-wide basis and collaborate across internal and external boundaries
* A culture that rewards and encourages long-term thinking
* A system that is both systemic (crosses all boundaries) and systematic (gives order to the planning and executing)
