The Necessary Revolution

Most organizations are in the early part of journey from reducing unsustainability to increasing sustainability. Here are seven concrete benefits of embracing leadership in a sustainable, regenerative economy:

  1. There is significant money to be saved.
  2. There is significant money to be made.
  3. You can provide your customers with a competitive edge.
  4. Sustainability is a point of differentiation.
  5. You can shape the future of your industry.
  6. You can become a preferred supplier.
  7. You can change your image and brand.
Companies in every industry can successfully remake their reputations and brands through serious attention to increasing sustainability vs reducing unsustainability, or worse yet, doing nothing at all. Join Peter Senge and leading practitioners for this three-day program based on the frameworks described in The Necessary Revoluton.

This program goes deeply into the domains of personal mastery, collaborative inquiry, and the systems perspective as key competencies for sustaining profound change. Through the interplay of personal and interpersonal work, participants will recognize that leadership concerns the capacity of a human community to shape its destiny and to bring forth realities aligned with people's deepest aspirations. From senior executives to those with no formal authority, leaders at every organizational level will gain deeper insights into leadership as a collective phenomenon. Teams are encouraged to participate and explore together what it takes to create an environment in which leadership is a shared responsibility, naturally embedded in the fabric on an organization or community. This program was the origin of Peter Senge's book The Fifth Discipline.
