Bob Pojasek is sustainability and sustainable development consultant, doing business as Pojasek & Associates LLC. He teaches an online, action-learning course in organizational sustainability at Harvard University. This course has been offered online to students from 50 countries over the past 18 years at Harvard University. He recently became a Member of the Education and Research Executive Board (EREB), the “leaders onboard with VCARE.”

In the past four months, Bob worked with some of his past students to launch The Center for Corporate Performance & Sustainability. CPS offers competency-based courses on the international “high-level structure” for organizational sustainability by leveraging ISO standards and risk management frameworks. This structure is used by a large corporation, its operating facilities, and its supply chain to create a program that leverages the new and revised ISO management system standards. Focus areas at the Center include sustainable development, social responsibility, resource productivity, pollution prevention, and risk management. The Center is looking forward to offering its first four courses in early September. Visit more on https://centerforcps.com/

In this episode, we ask Bob the following questions:

We see many leaders interviewed on the improvement that they have inspired in the organizations that they run. How does innovation happen in a well-run sustainability program?
A lot of people understand improvement and innovation. What is this process you are calling learning?
How does the organization know that these activities are working to deliver continual improvement and innovation?
