Overview
What you will study
Sustainability rests on a simple premise - the inter-connectedness of all things. It requires re-generative thinking. It is something that must become deeply embedded in the day-to-day operations of an organisation to guide it to a different future, particularly in a developing world context. This Sustainability Practitioner Programme offered by University of Cambridge will discuss this subject.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Evaluate the impact of current global, economic, social and environmental pressures on their organisations
- Understand the importance of navigating complexity through system-thinking
- Recommend how to align sustainability with the core organisational strategy
- Assess the opportunities for innovation and collaboration with key stakeholders
- Reflect on the values, thinking and practices that need to be developed to be an effective change agent
- Construct a practical action plan (within their sphere of influence) to drive internal change.
