Toronto Sustainability Speaker Series 3,612 members Member Kathryn Cooper Follow Kathryn Business as Usual is Doomed to Fail - So What's Next? If this question worries you - join us at Accelerate next week. Kathryn Cooper President & Chief Learning Officer Business As Usual - Doomed to Fail - So What's Next? | The Natural Step Canada naturalstep.ca There is a reason that Business as Usual is 'doomed to fail' in today's world.In our wisdom, we have socially constructed global market systems that have evolved to be socially, dynamically and generatively complex. See more at: http://naturals About Accelerate The Natural Step Canada is convening Accelerate because we—and the organizations we work with—realize that an organization can only go so far alone on their sustainability journey before they run up against barriers that require them to work with new partners. We hear the increasing calls for greater engagement and collaboration with diverse groups to solve the complex sustainability challenges of our time. Accelerate will offer a unique opportunity to deepen learning about collaboration from experts and practitioners, to experience collaboration by creating connections with other change agents, and to seed new collaborative initiatives. Using a mix of plenary, breakout, and group sessions, we will showcase the expertise and real life experience of dozens of speakers from across all sectors and backgrounds. Accelerate will include keynote talks from world-renowned experts, sessions delivered by talented practitioners, and interactive workshops and dialogues. Please check out the Agenda, which will allow for extensive networking and collaboration opportunities. It’s all about sharing and learning together. It's a different kind of conference.
