Session Description

To fully realize its benefits, sustainability must evolve beyond being a separate initiative or as an add-on to an organization’s current business model. In this webinar series, we’ll explore how companies can integrate sustainability into three key phases of their business planning process: planning, implementation, and evaluation.

This second webinar of the series will focus on how to take the plan and put it into action. Many plans that look brilliant on paper end up gathering dust on the shelf, eventually becoming irrelevant. Find out how to implement a plan in a way that balances the discipline and flexibility needed to stay focused on goals within the midst of changing circumstances.

Learning Objectives

• Effective communication, coordination, and shared commitment.
• Translating strategies into tactics with timelines and milestones.
• Cultivating both teamwork and individual accountability
• Tracking and reporting on progress.
