The Business Tranformer

Sustainable Growth strategies to ‘future proof’ your business

 

Our Business Transformer program is designed to actually ‘transform’ your business.  Our programs have measurable bottom line advantages and promote organisational change. These programs are outcome focused to help your business embed green and sustainable practices to increase revenue, reduce costs, enhance reputation and gain competitive advantage.

Our workshops and programs incorporate both instruction and active participation.  They are modular in nature allowing them to be delivered in a range of ways including:

  • High-level strategic seminars for organisational leaders and decision makers.
  • In-house workshops to raise awareness, educate, motivate and communicate your sustainability strategy.
  • Accredited and non-accredited (non-assessed) training.
  • Capacity building workshops for green office champions.

We have listed a number of ‘ready to go’ workshops and presentations as a guide.  Our programs can be tailored to meet your specific needs.

General Staff

Leading companies recognise that sustainability must not only be driven from top down, but that all staff have a key role to play. 

Companies maximize benefits by incorporating sustainability in all aspects of business operations, from waste and energy reduction to sustainable products and supply chain. Tailored to meet the needs of all general staff, our introductory workshops are proven to make a large scale impact on the sustainability focus and initiatives taken by your organisation

Managers/Executives

Sustainability in your organization presents an opportunity to introduce efficiency measures, mitigate risks and ensure you adhere to regulatory compliance.  Successful businesses are already treating sustainability as a key business lever, similar to marketing, finance or HR.  Acting on sustainability is essential to remaining competitive.Successful leaders will recognize the potential for sustainability strategies to increase market share and profit margins in existing markets and as a means for gaining competitive edge in new markets.

Viewing your company through the sustainability lens, will unveil opportunities that may otherwise not have been identified.

Green Office Champions

Green office representatives are the employees who take action on sustainability issues to make their workplace greener and invoke behavior change amongst colleagues. 

Through green office programs businesses can improve office energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions making the workplace eco-friendly whilst reducing business costs.Our range of programs and short courses are specifically designed for green office representatives and those implementing green office programs within your business.

Teachers/Trainers

While there are an increasing number of courses in Australia about sustainability within many trades and professions, the National Centre for Sustainability offers a number of courses specifically focusing on education for sustainability and providing learning-based strategies to stimulate change towards sustainability.

We know that teaching the technical knowledge and skills about sustainability design, materials and technologies does not bring about change in itself without the whole systems knowledge, critical thinking, communication and collaborative skills to educate for a sustainable future.

We have programs that provide an introduction for all teachers (VET, University Higher Education, Secondary and Primary) seeking to embed education for sustainability in their curriculum, teaching and assessment.
