Making social and ecological change happen is not easy. At both the planetary and organizational levels, it is a dance that is fraught with danger for both the change agents themselves and their organizations. It is like dancing with a tiger. For corporations, communities and other organizations, the choreography of the dance toward sustainability has been systematized by The Natural Step: a framework that provides the science, analysis, methodologies and tools to use in the quest for sustainability. Dancing with the Tiger presents the stories of individuals, teams and organizations learning about change and sustainability, and then acting on that learning. Case studies include some of the most successful companies and communities in North America:
Review “Nattrass and Altomare
have written a gem of a book. They make it clear that corporate sustainability
is less about formal planning and more about choreographing the ‘dance’
of change; less about central control and more about personal conviction
and commitment; less about technology and more about evolving a new
organizational and societal story…. A must read for any manager serious
about moving his or her company toward sustainability.” About the Authors Brian Nattrass: lawyer, CEO, Chairman of Earth Day International, and author of a book on corporate finance. Mary Altomare: academic administrator at Yale and Duke universities, and consultant with the World Bank and US AID. Both are now practice leaders for The Natural Step in North America.
