SEEING MOST BOARDS AND MANAGEMENT TEAMS ARE CONVINCED THAT COUNTER -SUSTAINABILITY AS A STRATEGY IS NOT AN OPTION, SIGNALS IS OBSERVING THAT THE NEXT CHALLENGE, DOING THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME TO THRIVE IN A DOWNWARD ENERGY TRAJECTORY, IS DEMANDING LEADERS  FIND THE CONVICTION, COURAGE AND STAYING POWER TO CRAFT A STRATEGY TO TAKE THEIR ORGANISATIONS THROUGH THESE STORMY WATERS.

Signals: As signals roll in that being environmental is leading to healthy profits, the downsides of the industrial growth legacy( including climate change, inequalities and food provision shortfalls) are catching us up.

Energy might not even comply with the laws of supply and demand.

SIGNALS OF CHANGE

Catching social and environmental trends early

Newsletter February 2014 Vol. 2 Issue 1

About this newsletter:

We monitor the news flow from a wide variety of sources from the last 30 – 60 days for developments that could inform your organization’s social and environmental strategy which in turn could affect your overall business strategy.

The idea of this newsletter is to alert you to trends that, in your leadership role, you may need to be aware off. Once alerted, if salient, you will start to pick up on them and apply your understanding.

Signals of Change Newsletter is produced in cooperation between the Institute of Swedish Safety and Security and Stephen Hinton Consulting with support from the Water and Food Award.

Together with our partners we offer dialogues, training, webinars and consulting to help organizations rise to the social challenges of our times.
