I was just talking with Bob Willard this morning, and he brought up a few additional resources that I'd like to share with you all.

From Bob:

The Business Case for Sustainability DVD is at http://www.vimeo.com/952417, password “willard”. This builds on my first two books, The Sustainability Advantage and The Next Sustainability Wave, and is about the compelling, quantified case for companies to integrate sustainability strategies into their business operations. Its 3-minute trailer at http://www.sustainabilityadvantage.com/products/buscasedvd_trailer.html gives a quick overview of its content.

The Sustainability Champion’s Guidebook: The Presentation 53-minute DVD is at http://www.vimeo.com/6577486, password “willard”. As its title indicates, it covers the highlights of my latest book, The Sustainability Champion’s Guidebook, about how to lead the transformation of your organization into a sustainable enterprise even if you are not the CEO. Its 1-minute trailer at http://www.vimeo.com/6533646 gives a quick overview of its content.

TNS’s new planning guide Planning for Sustainability: A Starter Guide is a toolkit to assist organizations on the first steps of their sustainability journeys - to assess their current reality, develop innovation goals for the future, and take early steps to bridge the gap. It is downloadable from http://www.thenaturalstep.org/en/canada/natural-step-guidebooks-sustainability.

Josh Cleveland’s / Net Impact’s Making Your Impact at Work: A Practical Guide to Changing the World From Inside Any Company, summarizes key themes identified in the experiences of social intrapreneurs and provides a model for future changemakers to follow as they create a positive impact in their own corporate positions It's downloadable from http://www.netimpact.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=80.

Let's keep the conversations going!

Best,

Justin-
Thanks for the great updates. The Triple Pundit article is well done. I had Chris Williams, Director of the Freshwater Program at WWF, speak to our Sodexo sustainability subject matter experts last week on the global water crisis. Was a rich and "engaging" exchange. I find this mix of internal and external expertise best for generating conversation and ideas on our webinars. I am always open to suggestions of who to include!

Best,
Holly
