ORG 7075 - Sustainability and Organizational Systems


This course explores how you, as an Organizational Systems professional, can contribute meaningfully and significantly to the emergence of a sustainable and livable future for all. How to generate commitment based on hope rather than fear; how to facilitate collaboration across sectors and disciplines; how to generate a compelling vision of a common desirable future; how to translate this vision into action -these are some of the questions that we will explore to support the design and implementation of systemic and radical sustainability initiatives. The purpose of the course is to provide you with an interdisciplinary learning experience and to guide you in developing the essential knowledge, skills and sensitivity for stimulating and guiding sustainability and social responsibility programs in organizations and communities of all kinds. ORG 7074  or a demonstration of basic but comprehensive understanding of the current state of sustainability movement is a prerequisite for this course. 3 credit(s)
