Build support for sustainability in your organisation

Build Support for Sustainability is a four-hour workshop. If you are a director or manager who wants to start – or revitalise – your sustainability strategy or initiative so it’s set for success, this is for you. We’ve distilled our 20 years of experience supporting people like you to create a practical and engaging workshop. Whether you’re setting out to develop a sustainability strategy or initiative in your organisation for the first time, or you’re looking to revitalise existing activity, you’ll need support from other people. The problem is that people often seem disinterested or their support turns out to be lukewarm. This workshop is all about how you can get the support you need: not just people who will be actively and enthusiastically involved in planning and delivery; but also important allies, who will back your plans, help you access resources and open doors for you. Tap into the motivation behind all successful sustainability initiatives. Discover that, despite what you might expect, most people are concerned about the state of the world, and this can be a powerful motivation for them to engage with sustainability. Talk about sustainability so people are keen to be involved. Learn how you can have conversations with colleagues and other stakeholders to turn this often hidden concern into genuine interest and practical support. Identify whose support your sustainability initiative needs to succeed. Identify the people who will help your initiative succeed – those who you want to be involved in planning and delivery, and those who will be powerful allies when you need them. Map out your plan to bring more people and new energy to your initiative. While the principles are the same, every situation is different. We’ll help you create a plan tailored to your goals and specific circumstances.
