Imagine you are standing in the sleek new boardroom of a mid-sized oil and gas company. The company’s entire operations team of thirty employees are here, carefully working through the exercises you have just handed out on best practices for stakeholder engagement. This is the last session of the two-day seminar you have been hired to deliver on corporate sustainability. This client was especially interested in effective strategies to reduce resource use, increase efficiency and effectively engage diverse stakeholders on the operations team, so you’ve developed detailed content that is tailored to this specific audience.
Although the actual seminar is only two days long, you’ve spent many weeks learning about the company’s needs and priorities in a series of interviews, surveys and site visits. All of the preparation is clearly paying off, as several seminar participants note how your proposed changes will have an immediate, positive impact on their operations.
As you close the seminar with a final presentation summarizing the operations team’s new plan for sustainability, you can’t help but feel a strong sense of satisfaction. You’ve just provided these seminar attendees with practical, valuable information that will help them perform their work more efficiently, reduce resource use and protect the environment.
