Not everybody can participate in a Get REAL Expedition. However, there is no reason to miss out on the powerful lessons to be learned.
After numerous requests, our highly acclaimed ‘outward bound’ Cause related expeditions are now ‘inward bound’ for a limited number of One Day, highly interactive insights into Responsible, Environmentally Aware Leadership.
We are in the midst of a Responsibility Revolution, affecting corporate, workplace and social reputation. Increasing awareness of many disruptive global realities is unsettling and is forcing business to account for its impact on the environment and on quality of life. Indeed, the concept of sustainability is, in itself, a reflection of this growing awareness and of the need for urgent action. A major challenge is ‘how to’ educate, engage and embed values, attitudes and behaviours that increase positive results and enhance reputation.
Get REAL 101 helps participants better understand the world in which they live, addressing the complexity, interdependency and interconnectedness of pressing global issues such as biodiversity loss, climate change, water, food security, deforestation, poverty, wasteful production and consumption, environmental degradation, population, health, conflict and human rights that threaten our future.
Get REAL 101 incorporates decades of academic and social entrepreneurship rigour with up-to-date knowledge about key issues related to global realities and sustainable development themes from many disciplines. It is produced by the ResponseAbility Alliance - an international body - programme input and related exercises have been developed through extensive consultation, review, real world experience and evaluation.
Get REAL 101 material is authentic and derived from our past and present projects and programmes. We do not promise some miracle ‘Sustainability SatNav’, but a serious exploration into routes, maps and models that work and don’t work.
Get REAL 101 distils core business and CSR issues so that those responsible to create long-term, sustainable business models with economic, environmental and social value can ensure that available resources are used effectively to create impact relative to the investment and taking that impact to scale, then doing whatever is necessary, to ensure that form follows function.
