Description
One of the challenges in developing a plan for sustainability is reaching consensus on the definition of sustainability and agreement on priorities for improvement. The Sustainability Solutions Navigator™ is a specially designed "board game" assessment tool that leads cross-functional teams through an interactive, collaborative process of evaluating sustainability-related needs and practices. The tool helps address a wide range of sustainability issues including the design of green buildings, improved facility operations, greening the supply chain, employee communication and reporting. Participants will complete the needs assessment exercise during the session and be able to compare their individual results with their peers and a benchmark of other healthcare organizations. The session results will also be shared with ASHE leadership to help define future educational and technical programs.
