Our sustainability consulting suite is "eco-centric" with a balanced focus on eco-systems and eco-nomics. We use sustainability assessments like our Sustainable Values Assessment and our Sustainability Scorecard to help you see where your organization or community is in terms of sustainable mindsets and practices. Based on the assessment results, we use the appropriate capacity building technologies to help evolve sustainability minded people throughout your value chain. ![]() Some of our recent successes include: Awareness Raising & Best Practice Sharing: Working with the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan we assisted in the creation of a major networking event for over 300 participants. Interkannections helped design, project manage and facilitate the event. Somatics & Sustainability: We developed and ran a workshop at Antioch University McGregor called Developing Sustainability from the Inside Out helping kickoff a year long series of sustainability events. Organization Design: Designed the Japanese organizational structure for an international NPO resulting in strong foreign/Japanese communication, pro-activity, innovation and fundraising ability for the organization. Community Integration: Created and project managed a United Nations’ program that trained government officials to improve environmental conditions while improving living conditions for urban poor. The program resulted in the transformation of an illegal shantytown into a thriving community that rented and renovated polluted land, built houses, found jobs, increased security, and decreased drug use. Network and Project Creation: Co-created an environmental citizens’ committee that integrated the non-profit organizations and developed environmental initiatives within a Japanese prefecture. ![]() We understand that social, organizational, economic, political and ecological systems are fundamentally about relationships. Relationships between ourselves and other people, as well as between organizations, institutions and the eco-systems from which we all emerge and in which we are all embedded. As the matrix on the left shows living and working coherently within this web of inter-relationship is about being able to perceive, understand and act in ways that keep these systems and their relationships flourishing, balanced and resilient. We can no longer afford to ignore sustainability issues. Simple compliance and conformity to rules and policy are not enough. Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and Green Innovation are required for organizations to survive and thrive in today’s world. ![]() Organizations that are unable to integrate sustainable principles into their culture, systems and thinking will find it increasingly difficult to compete with those that do. Those that do, as the matrix to the right demonstrates, can realize immense value from orienting themselves around sustainability strategies. At Interkannections we help you develop the capacity as individuals and as organizations and communities to engage these issues strategically, creatively and holistically, embedding highly motivated, innovative sustainable mindsets and practices deep within your organizational DNA. Below is a list of some the services we provide clients to assist them in developing their sustainability and CSR strategies:
