Sustainability is development that meets present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. To respond to this challenge, over the last few years, a wide array of visions and executable actions have been developed based on the principles of the triple bottom line (TBL).

Basically, TBL looks at the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of businesses. Thus, sustainability issues here recognize the importance of businesses to make profit, proactively manage the environment for sustainability, and perform their social function such as job creation in their immediate and extended communities. Sustainability has taken increased importance in the world today as corporations continue to seek to maximize profits while constrained by the limited earth’s resources. There is growing outcry about the depletion of nonrenewable resources and the increased damage that is being done on earth by pollution, deforestation, and incessant demand for earth’s resources that may not be renewable or replenishable. A more responsible approach and alternative to the use of these limited resources is required. World communities have taken the lead by building consciousness about the potential dangers of not effectively planning for the future and also the threat that reckless usage of these resources pose for the future generation and for the future of existence on earth. Business organizations are reacting to this call for sustainability and are increasingly finding out that a focus on sustainability is economic wise and could help them to become more competitive.

Sustainability is about the effective management of nonrenewable and non replenishable natural resources. These resources are limited and critical to maintaining ecological balance. A collective effort is required to balance our socio-economic needs with environmental needs. This could be achieved by re-evaluating policies and actions as to how they affect the environment. Sustainability requires changes in traditional practices of doing things and refocusing ourselves to the needs of the earth. We helps organizations to promote sustainability in achieving social development, environmental protection, and economic development. Sustainability management may help organizations to re-evaluate their policies, processes, programs, and projects in terms of above mentioned baselines. Sustainability helps to facilitate planning, implementing, reviewing, and improving an organization's actions and operations to meet environmental and social goals.

A.Change management -- working with departments, committees and other groups to help them plan and implement significant changes in their organizations such as work reorganization or moves and space changes.

Change management is a set of ideas, strategies, and skills that can be applied to engage change effectively. These may be applied

• in planning for change
• in implementing change
• in supporting continuous improvement following change
• What kinds of change benefit from using change management?
• Change management methods may be applied to any type of organizational change, including departmental mergers, technology implementation, creating team-based organizations and professional development. It may be helpful to think about change management methods on two levels:
• The first level of change managementis generic enough to apply to any type of change, whether it's the creation of a new department or the implementation of a new technology. At this generic level, change management methods are mostly targeted at understanding the human response to change and creating effective strategies for engaging people to achieve change.
• The second level of change managementincludes methods that are specific to a particular change. For example, in technology implementations, specific actions include establishing and communicating the business case for change, ongoing relationship building, communication and training for affected staff, redesigning business processes, and creating and sustaining groups to manage the project. While some of these activities apply to other types of change, this collection forms a boilerplate for technology implementation

  B.Group problem solving -- helping a group identify a key issue, gather information about it, and outline decisions or action plans needed to address the issue. 

• Talent Management -– helping managers assess their department's workforce so that the right people are in the right roles with the right set of skills at the right time.

• Meeting design and facilitation -- working with clients to help them plan an agenda, stay with the agenda, and discuss issues effectively.
• What is Meeting Design and Facilitation?

Meeting Design is the deliberate act of planning and preparing for meetings ahead of time, which follows a process and includes certain key elements. Meeting Facilitation is the conscious act of guiding the meeting process so that it stays on course, to make sure everyone participates, and to reach the agreed-upon meeting goals.

• Team development -- helping a team to develop its ability to work more effectively together.

Teams share a commitment to a common purpose, mission and goals and work in an environment of mutual accountability. Successful teams develop effective group process, using ground rules and norms to promote effective interpersonal communication. Teams go through recognizable stages of development, with distinct characteristics in each phase. Every project group or work unit is not a team. 

• Business Process Redesign -- working with a group to analyze the current way of doing a specific piece of work to determine whether there is a better way to design how the work gets done. 
• Customized Training -- working with a group to develop or renew knowledge, skill or values relative to a group goal.

An effective organization can give companies the edge that sets them apart from the competition. Sustained business success requires building a high-performance organization. The best performers make better decisions, make them more quickly and execute them more effectively. And they don't spend too much or too little effort in the process. We work jointly with our clients to assess the gaps and identify the opportunities that drive their organizational performance.

Every part of an organisation is integral to a system that relies on and impacts other elements of the internal and external environment in which the organisation operates. To deliver a sustainable environment for performance there are a number of organisational development and design elements that may be relevant to delivering the performance outcomes required.

Organisational design & re design and Operating model development

A well-designed operating model provides a clear and consistent blueprint for how resources are organized and operated to achieve a company's strategic priorities. Companies considering operating model redesigns are often prompted by a common set of triggers. These triggers could include: external factors, such as technological disruption or an evolution of the regulatory environment; strategy changes, such as competition or entry in a new market; or internal challenges such as excess cost and complexity, ineffective decision-making or a founder approaching retirement.
