Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 |

A conversation with Peter Senge, available exclusively from More Than Sound.

Sustainability is the biggest business opportunity in 50 years – it’s starting now, and the landscape will never be the same. Some managers clearly see their chance to be ahead of this curve.

Leading the Necessary Revolution will help you seize this unprecedented opportunity.
  • Getting key decision-makers on board, and to take the next steps
  • Avoiding common errors of sustainability advocates
  • Finding and bridging gaps in mental models
  • Building hybrid synthesis with NGOs, governments, and other businesses
