Strategic Sustainability Resources
December 22, 2011 at 03:26PM 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,
- Sustainable Communities TNS Canada
- 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.
