Every company struggles to institutionalize sustainability.  Challenges arise from a wide range of issues: the size of the organization, the difficulty of transforming culture, time-consuming efforts to build capabilities, or client demands. Achieving your company’s performance goals consistently requires a continuous commitment and is significant roadblock for all companies. SPI works side by side with your company to understand where you are, identify where you want to go, and formulate how to get there – no matter where you are or what your scope of services is.

 

 

As you do when designing projects, the first thing you need is an Assessment: a clear understanding of your baseline, strengths, and gaps. SPI provides a free 1-hour assessment session to benchmark your current systems, processes and capabilities. We also offer a confidential online self-assessment prior to meeting that provides valuable insight for the assessment discussion.

 

 

One thing we frequently find in the assessment is a lack of clarity around SMART goals ¹. Goal Setting sessions for company leadership address the lack of over-arching goals that drive expectations and performance throughout the company. These goals tie to primary business objectives such as profitability, risk control, attraction and retention of employees and connect the dots between your success as a business and your success as a sustainability service provider.  

 

 

The path to success begins with intentions. Once SMART goals are articulated, SPI works with you to formulate realistic Strategies and Implementation Plans to help your company achieve its goals. We work with you to develop systems to improve efficiency in project delivery, create templates and other internal resources to ensure consistency, coach and educate to build skills and knowledge. We help you establish indicators and metrics so you can track progress over time and make mid-course corrections when necessary. As you roll out these efforts, SPI is there to provide coaching, feedback, and education to support you when you need it most.  

 

 

Education isn’t just talking-head presentations for CEU’s – our approach to education is based on applied learning. Internal clinics using live projects for peer learning and knowledge sharing, interactive workshops on integrative design, and skill-building sessions for negotiation and facilitation are all part of the process to achieve organizational excellence. We ensure that the educational programs and strategy sessions enrich your projects as well as your organizational performance. Every minute builds your value.

 

Your success also depends on your partnerships. Whether you and your partners are dealing with emerging technologies, such as BIM, or evolving contractual structures like IPD, SPI helps you leverage those mutual interests to create educational and team-building activities that meet your business objectives.
