The world is changing rapidly... what about you? You are scanning the horizon looking for smart ways to progress and flourish. But what is the right direction, which solutions really work and which are a dead end? With who do I need to work in order to innovate? How do I combine quick wins with necessary long term investments? How do I create a vision that not only inspires, but also moves people?

It’s not just you asking these questions, but also your clients, partners, and colleagues. Who’s got the answers?

We believe that many answers lie in sustainability. Not the “sustainability” of power-saving lightbulbs or recycled toiletpaper, but real integrated sustainable innovation. What it is, how it works, and why it opens the portals towards prolonged success is what you'll discover in our talks and masterclasses.

Systemic sustainability in action

In the programme participants work on case studies with a totally new view on sustainability. Inspiration, fresh vision, and strategic insight will be the result. We’re using the latest methods, innovation techniques, and research, and add 18 years of experience with integrated sustainable innovation. 

The programs vary from lunch talks to intensive weekend sessions in which we’ll go into more depth on exciting and inspiring locations. We can also happily develop a custom-made program for you and your organization.

Focus points

  1. How do I get more insight in the strategic position of my organization?
  2. What are leverage points to perform better on the short and long term, while at the same time function more sustainably?
  3. How do I involve my strategic partners, so that they commit themselves to my activities?
  4. How do I create sufficient intrinsic motivation and support with my employees?
  5. How do I apply new sustainable insights effectively both today and tomorrow?
  6. How do I achieve return on investments in sustainability?
