Leadership sustainability training workflow

A leadership sustainability training program typically involves the following workflow:

  1. Assessment: Before the training, the organization will assess the current level of sustainability knowledge and skills among its leaders. This can include conducting surveys, interviews, or focus groups. The assessment will help identify areas where training is needed and tailor the training program to the organization’s specific needs.
  2. Curriculum development: Based on the results of the assessment, a curriculum will be developed that addresses the identified needs and areas of focus. The curriculum will typically cover topics such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), sustainable business practices, and measurement and reporting of sustainability performance.
  3. Delivery: The training program will be delivered, which can be done in a variety of formats such as in-person, online, or self-paced. The delivery format will depend on the organization’s needs, resources, and preferences.
  4. Implementation: After the training, leaders will be expected to apply what they have learned to their work. The organization may provide support and resources to help leaders implement the new knowledge and skills.
  5. Evaluation: The organization will evaluate the effectiveness of the training program by monitoring progress and measuring results, such as improvements in sustainability performance, and stakeholder engagement.
  6. Continual improvement: Based on the results of the evaluation, the organization will make adjustments to the training program as necessary to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of the leaders and the organization.

It’s worth noting that this process may vary depending on the organization, the industry, and the company’s commitment to sustainability. Some training programs may be more comprehensive, while others may be more focused. The frequency of training may also vary depending on the company’s sustainability goals and the level of engagement of the leaders.
