The price will be $30 for members, $40 for nonmembers—lunch is included.
Please register in advance so we have enough food.
Target Audience: General. Other disciplines may be interested: e.g. Process engineers, green builders, landscape architects, HR, marketers, PR, risk managers, financial folks.
What do climate change, demographic shifts and stakeholder accountability have to do with conducting business? Everything!
Businesses are deluged with conflicting information about greening their organizations and demonstrating community responsibility while maintaining profitability.
This roundtable clarifies the difference between green vs. sustainable and uses slides to describe the ecological, economic and social trends that are shaping the marketplace.
We then go on to profile how sustainable businesses position themselves: first describing the characteristics of sustainable businesses and then how those qualities create tangible benefits for organizations.
We conclude with a description of various consulting assignments that can accelerate our clients’ considering and adopting sustainable practices in order to gain competitive advantage.
This is a new and improved version of the well-received presentation given at this October’s Confab. Relevant. Timely. Inspiring. Perhaps, even catalytic.
 Glenn Bachman is President of Raven Business Group, Inc., a CMC and Certified Planner with nearly 30 years of consulting experience in management consulting, marketing and environmental planning.
Glenn, who holds a Masters degree in Planning, was a partner in a highly regarded environmental consulting firm, where he was involved in approximately 150 projects, ranging from Environmental Impact Statements to energy facility cost-benefit analyses.
For the past 15 years Glenn has been a management consultant specializing in strategic planning and alignment, marketing and metrics. Tapping into his appreciation for the environment and flair for systems analysis, Glenn’s practice has evolved into sustainability consulting where he provides assistance to organizations that desire to become more environmentally responsible or that have green products/services that they wish to take to market.
Please RSVP in advance so we have enough food.
