Talk:Chem395:April 25 discussion
How could one change the corporate culture within a company from a traditional view (environmental regulations are just a burden) to a progressive view, where environmental factors are considered right from the start in product & process design, as well as in the accounting. Today's discussion will consider how best to convince both managers and workers. See the article page for background information.

OK. You're an enlightened 21st Century executive in a company. How do you go about changing the corporate culture? What's the best strategy to make the environment a real priority, instead of just something you tack on for PR for marketing? Walkerma 16:05, 25 April 2008 (EDT)
- The Three-Factor Scorecard is an excellent method for the company. The scorecard measures long-term strategies for competitive success. It will help cover performance indicators and develop management systems that cover: economic, environmental and social performances. According to Dorff (435) "The advantage of the scorecard approach is that it trains business attention on a range of different performance measures." "[...]A well-developed TFSC provides a company's strategy and vision and serves to create shared understanding." "It enables learning at all levels of the organization."

- Quality of life (QOL) can be measured as well as improved (Dorff 435). This allows questions concerning results, outputs, perfomrance etc to be asked. J-Fed 16:11, 25 April 2008 (EDT)
