FPO model

Sustainability management on the basis of biomimicry techniques and dashboards. The programme combines theory sessions, assignments at your own workplace and a practical session. The practical day is built around a climate game: you join one of the climate tables of Quagga Island and are challenged to get the island to climate neutral in as little time as possible.

Structure, duration and workload

The programme runs over three months, with five training sessions and one practical day. Preparation and assignments take three to five hours a week on average, on top of the sessions and the practical day.

Who it is for

The programme is meant for sustainability and business development managers who work, or are about to work, in sustainable organisations — the organisations of the future. You are willing to take in new ideas and to share your own experience.

Do you want ways of seeing that let you steer and advise on sustainability? Do you have the sense that innovation and the move to agility could be approached differently? Then this programme is for you.
