Press
Release Body = Henley Management College, one of
the world's top management education providers, is launching a new
"Leading for Sustainability" Programme
which will help key decision makers in business, government and
not-for-profit organisations accelerate creative transformation
towards sustainable environmental practises.
As
the Stern report and other climate change reports make clear, the
economic costs and social disruption of global warming are going
to be on an unprecedented scale if people do not make a concerted
effort to bring in more sustainable ways of producing wealth and
social well-being in the near future.
Henley's
Leading for Sustainability (http://www.henleymc.ac.uk/henleymc03.nsf/pages/sp_leadingsustainably)
course is a three day programme designed for senior managers in
corporate responsibility, strategists, and directors involved in
operations, logistics, marketing, communications, HR, finance and
organisational audit.
The
programme aims to establish a practical grasp of new sustainability
leadership principles, in order to enable staff to lead sustainably,
drive innovation and change within their organisation, evaluate
how to simultaneously improve environmental, social and financial
performance and develop a sustainability action plan with practical
milestones for successful delivery.
"Responding
to the challenges of sustainability is likely to be the single most
important factor differentiating organisations with a long-term
future from organisations failing to adapt to the demands of the
new economic climate," say Henley Management College
(http://www.henleymc.ac.uk/)
The
philosophy of the programme is that energy efficiency and carbon
neutrality represent only the very first few steps in an exciting
journey that will drive a new era of business innovations and cultural
change through our expectations of work and life in general.
Leading
for Sustainability, a change-project-focused programme, draws on
the work of Henley’s Centres of Excellence
- the Knowledge Management Forum, the Future Work Forum, the John
Madejski Centre for Reputation, the Centre for Board Effectiveness
and the Centre for Voluntary Sector Management. The programme also
draws on key external industry and environmental advocacy figures
defining the future edge of the sustainability agenda today.
Henley
will be running a pilot programme from 30 October to 2
November –with a follow-up day on 10 December 2007. This pilot
is offered at a 20% reduction on the standard programme fee. Visit
Henley Management's website for more information
on the Leading for Sustainability Programme and
other business courses (http://www.henleymc.ac.uk/henleymc03.nsf/pages/programmes).
