Sustainability Sprint

Sustainability is getting increasing attention in the media, governments, and society. This broad heading includes topics such as climate change, biodiversity, and social justice. But it is not always clear what the implications are for business. How can businesses help? What actions have the most impact? What will it mean for customers and for the bottom line?

The Sustainability Sprint is designed for leadership teams that want to activate their sustainability ambitions. It is a concise, structured process, guided by expert coaches. The outcome is a clear action plan.

The Sustainability Sprint was developed from the tried and tested Simplicity Sprint, which has helped small and large organisations simplify and focus.

The Sprint enables teams to simplify their thinking about how to define and realize the company's sustainability ambitions. The Sprint provides clarity, confidence, and control, and achieves radical alignment within a team.

The process examines what is currently being achieved and explores what possibilities exist moving forward. We jointly develop a roadmap detailing which tangible steps the team can focus on to accelerate.

This is a workshop in five half-days, spread over a period of 2 to 5 weeks. Each session consists of a combination of inspirational material, individual and peer work based on the Sustainability Scan, and team engagement to achieve alignment.

Thanks to our network of experts, we bring in the right people at each stage to provide real-world examples, tools and techniques, and academic background. Where appropriate we also invite customers and suppliers to challenge the work and contribute their thinking.

The Sustainability Sprint is offered by Circulus Works in collaboration with partners ebullient.com, Qhuba Consulting and Cape Seasons Consulting.
