The Six Phases of Sustainability

Culture change is challenging – including moving your company to a more sustainable path. To be successful, a company’s values, management, and performance must all be aligned with a commitment to change. The first step is determining where your organization or team is on the path to sustainability. Learning how to apply the six-phase Dunphy scale to assess your current situation will help guide you in developing a strategy to move forward. This course, part of the Sustainability series, presents a real-life example of a company’s sustainability journey which helped reduce costs and waste, increase employee engagement, and gain competitive advantage. As a result of their efforts, they moved from the “non-responsiveness” phase to the “strategic proactivity” phase of the Dunphy scale in six months and transformed from a struggling business to one with a more secure future.
