- Summary:
- The pressing need for innovation and change to generate greater sustainability in our corporations and institutions is now incontestable. Yet transformation at both the organizational and planetary levels is a dance that is often fraught with danger for both the change agents themselves and their organizations. It is like dancing with a tiger -- with the outcome frequently uncertain. For corporations, communities, and other organizations, the choreography of the dance toward sustainability has been systematized in The Natural Step framework, which provides the science, analysis, methodologies, and tools to use in the quest for sustainability. Dancing with the Tiger presents the compelling stories of individuals and teams in some of the world's most progressive organizations as they pioneer a new paradigm of sustainable business practices and corporate responsibility.
