Future-Fit Updates: Launch of the Partnership Programs, Changemaker Community and forthcoming Pioneers ProgramThis month our speaker is Alicia Ayars, Ecosystem Manager at the Future-Fit Foundation. The Future-Fit Business Benchmark has been one of the key initiatives of members of our group since this project's inception in 2012 by Dr. Bob Willard with The Natural Step Canada and B Lab. Other members of the group, Dr. Geoff Kendall, Martin Rich and others, then joined the project to evolve and lead this vital strongly sustainable / science based approach to enterprise measurement and goal setting. Much progress in the development and use of the Future-Fit method has been made since 2012, with regular reports to the group - most recently at our 57th meeting. And, many of the members of the group are actively using the Future-Fit method in their practice, teaching and research - along with its underlying 30 year old proven science based approach - the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development. In her talk Alicia will be bringing us up to speed with all the latest Future-Fit news, including the most recent version of the Future-Fit Business Benchmark (method and tools), their Accredited Partner & Certified Professional programs, the brand new Changemaker Community, and the about to be launched Pioneers Program. Alicia will close by inviting members of our group to get more involved with Future-Fit via these programs and communities. As usual, we are meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of the month
