Greatest Opportunity of the 21st Century: Wal-Mart & Sustainability November 29, 2007

Join Dave Sherman & Diana Rothschild of Blu Skye Consulting as they discuss how the business world is waking up to an inevitable truth: Our global economy, society and environment are inextricably linked. Radically simplified, continued progress based on our current path is not sustainable. In order for things to stay the same, they must change. This reality is changing the ground rules of industry and creating a powerful new market opportunity. Companies that innovate ahead of the new rules will reap the benefits - and avoid the risks - created by rapidly shifting global trends.

Currently there is a reframing of "corporate social and environmental responsibility" as an opportunity, not an obligation. As consultants, our job is to guide clients though a turbulent new world of stakeholder pressures, regulatory restrictions and re-innovation to make money by doing the right thing. Increasingly, Blu Skye sees the biggest opportunities, not in single client engagements, but in bringing an entire supply chain or business system in the room. The topic for this discussion will be on understanding how to create sustainable value for companies and business systems.
