Integrated Strategy ​
Behaviour Change

Combine and integrate invisible behaviours with social and technological systems to make durable environmental sustainability solutions, across your enterprise, easier.  ​We work with human and material resources you already have in place to complement and accelerate your environmental and business objectives. ​
If you need to accelerate implementation of sustainable strategy, we can:
  • Create a culture of action learning, multisolving and practice that builds in-house know-how to improve organizational effectiveness
  • Enhance capacity building with participatory problem-solving and serious play that taps into diversity and creativity
  • Develop and curate tactics to evolve short-term opportunities into long-term gains through informal learning and challenge mapping 
  • Identify the conditions for multi-dimensional solutions in the presence of uncertainty
If you need to create integrated behaviour change and/or system level change, we can:
  • Create clear and compelling rationale for protecting the environment and your business
  • Design change initiatives that address the unique requirements of your specific challenges 
  • Facilitate conversations and new levels of collaboration for enterprise wide cohesion
  • Inspire and inform the process using my expert knowledge in corporate sustainability, energy systems, climate emergency preparedness, greening healthcare and organizational learning
If you need to reveal, track and report critical metrics, we can:
  • Integrate developmental and impact evaluation methods 
  • Use social science to define metrics that measure qualitative value 
  • Magnify perspectives that embrace multiple ways of knowing
  • Weave organizational narrative with stories to define solutions faster
