Burgess COMMENTARY | |||||||||
Gary Thanks for pointing me in the direction of your company website ... I enjoyed the case studies, reminding me of the sort of work that I did at one stage of my career with considerable success. The challenge I am working to address is not simply getting the best money value outcome from major business activities and transactions, but how to get the maximum of profit together with social good and the minimum of environmental bad all at the same time. My own view of risk both in social terms and environmental terms is that these risks are significantly higher than is commonly written about in the mainstream media and the business press, and without substantial rethinking on the part of business leadership, the outcomes will be catastrophic in relatively short order. How to get change in the business setting? I think the answer is better metrics ... the right metrics that incorporate good measures for social dimensions and good measures for the environmental issues together with the appropriate accounting and reporting! Exciting times
