The Nexus of Sustainability & Leadership
Avastone's Sustainability
& Leadership service
area enables leaders to sharply focus on sustainability
from a wide and deep strategic context. Our work
supports upward shifts through several gears of
sustainability, moving from lower gear focus on
compliance and technical work to higher gear impact
through integration and realization of new opportunities
and value. We use an integral framing and assessment
methodology supported by active research with leading
companies to provide a coherent picture of leverage
for accelerated traction.
Yet sustainability is as much about the mindset
through which the world is seen as it is about
the activities taken in support of it. Mindsets
progress in stages and become more expansive and
integrative in what is seen, interpreted, and acted
upon. Avastone helps clarify the mindsets prevalent
in the organization and support leaders in translating
sustainability
into terms that others understand where they are now, in concert with enhancing
their capabilities for effective action.
We support leaders in development
of their own later-stage mindsets, which correlates
with higher levels of organizational performance
and success in large-scale change efforts.
Avastone brings fresh dimensions to the field through
a powerful and dramatic set of learning experiences
that brings to life the tensions, issues, and demands
on leadership.

agenda.
