Background Information

A new tool for Industry - an interactive learning hub using collaboration and facilitated adaptation of leading edge techniques to help you on the path to sustainability.

Facilitated by industry experts Dr Paul Tebo (President, The Tebo Group, retired Vice President HSE for DuPont) and Bob Willard (author of The Sustainability Advantage)

This is a chance to develop the “how to do’s” for your business from practitioners who have “done it”. The Business Transformer is a chance to experience first hand the development of the approaches necessary for progress. It also allows you to interactively develop local, appropriate approaches in your organisational context. The Business Transformer incorporates both educational and active participation.

Incorporating the Sustainable Enterprise Model (as adopted by Dupont) this series will consist of:

	Working Groups with a MAXIMUM participation of 15 organisations
	Sessions held once every 3 months over 12 months (4 sessions in total)
	In house workshops and opportunity assessments
	Working with other industries in a network, partnering to encourage support and cross fertilisation
	Mentoring and business support for your business
