Business Series: Integrating Sustainability into your Business Plan Part 3: Evaluation

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 third and final webinar in the series underscores the importance of developing comprehensive evaluation criteria to be used as an iterative process, rather than one that is linear or sequential. This is the key to being able to learn and adapt in order to keep your plan relevant and to assure its eventual success.

Learning Objectives

  • Monitoring the quantitative and qualitative “vital signs.”
  • Avoiding “confirmation bias” and other perils on the path.
  • Resurfacing and revising key planning assumptions and forecasts.
  • Celebrate and reward successes; make mid-course corrections when warranted.
