The Sustainability Challenge is a highly flexible and customisable product. Its library of hundreds of scenarios covers a wide range of topics. A typical half-day Sustainability Challenge session will only use a handful of scenarios, and therefore it can be designed to be highly specific, e.g. focusing primarily on climate change, or primarily on social responsibility, or with a strong focus on the business case etc. Alternatively, a session could be very general, covering a wide range of topics.

The scenarios also vary in complexity. Therefore you can design your session to be used with senior leaders and executives, or for use throughout your organisation with line staff and front line management. It also works very effectively with a vertical slice: including both leaders and their reports in the same session. 

Most elements of the product can be customised to suit your organisation and target group’s specific context. Whatever it is you hope to achieve, the Sustainability Challenge can likely be adapted to meet your objectives in a way that is fun and engaging. Our team of expert consultants will work with you to ensure that your Sustainability Challenge session meets your needs.
