Through a step-by-step template insuring a thorough implementation throughout the enterprise from bottom to top and thereby overcoming a common halt of misalignment where the strategy fails to permeate middle management and lower working levels. Profitability will ignite when CSR success is accomplished by pulling in new capital and investment opportunities and opening up for new business. CSR have long been accused of being yet another drain, but by looking at it as an investment and figuring out how to find ROI it can very well be the initiative that endures a company new and lasting opportunities. New and lasting opportunities that well can last into the next generation and ensure a marketplace for the products. Now one may think that all CSR investment is long-term but by incorporating some simple workplace adjustments CSR can very well many times be seen directly on the bottom-line in terms of cut costs. I hope to have some, if only little influence on the common future of ours and make it flow in a more positive direction making the world a sustainable planet by discovering new and better ways for living, consumption and disposal.

Gennem de tre år kommer man til at lære om bl.a. IT-programmering, regnskabsvæsen, finansiering og marketing. Det oprindelige formål er at formidle mellem en økonomiafdeling og en datalogi afdeling og skabe forståelse for hinandens arbejde og en større sammenhæng mellem disse entiteter. Der er i Danmark dog ikke så mange større virksomheder med disse behov og derfor sidder mange Døkker og programmerer, arbejder med andet IT eller diverse økonomiopgaver.
