Strategic Regenerative Sustainability - Sustainability 2030 Clips

If you missed TNS Network USA's Dec. 6th (2011) introductory webinar on strategic sustainability, here are a few additional resources for you that would be good substitutes.

A 30-minute introductory recorded webinar (watch mins 1-30) from the Director of TNS’s Masters’ program in Leadership for Strategic Sustainability at BTH. Go Here: Planning for Sustainable Development--Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability, (you sign on as a guest using your own - (No password is needed) and click the play arrow in the middle of the screen.)

The slide deck of the presentation is available here.

Resources from a recent half-day workshop on Strategic Community Sustainability Planning for South Bay (SF) planning professionals are here. In particular, I recommend the following:

Workshop Follow Up Resources Document, provides links and short discussion of a range of next-step resources, mostly no-cost. See also the list of references in the Resources Section at the end of the Presentation, Part 1 (see link below), pages 92-93.

Mock South Bay Community Strategic Sustainability Plan, refines and extends the results of the workshop exercise into a partial mock plan to illustrate how a strategic approach begins to differ from a traditional approach.

The powerpoint presentations for the Strategic Community Sustainability Planning Workshop and some other resources are also on the main page.

If you want to follow up with TNS in particular, I highly recommend checking out the TNS Network USA's and TNS Canada’s work; in particular,

A 2-minute Vid on TNS (very good/entertaining)

OK, that does it. Comments, questions, etc. are always welcome.

Of course, i also highly recommend the 1-hour e-learning course (or 3-hour, but the 1-hr was recently updated) too.
