My social trojan horse approach to facilitate sustainable change on a capitalistic world

My Trojan horse approach to facilitate sustainable change on a capitalistic world:


Most organizations look sustainability as a side objective or not a clear real driver to adopt it , of course we all know that sustainability is the most important asset that any organization of our days and future must assume ,however there still is a huge lack of understanding. There most be an new approach for companies, business or organizations, a way to adopt sustainability on more pragmatic way :

Back in K town Sweden many of my former classmates knew about this social approach, basically and by knowing the social capitalistic language codes we have to implement solutions using these codes as for example savings, sales, etc basically showing the numbers! on potential real projects to our clients , of course one most show this numbers with solid studies that support these figures, once our client is in the ah ha moment and see the $$$ benefits, and then, they hired you! ,you start to show these numbers (may take some months initially) by implementing the eco solutions that drives savings, sales and other economic benefits by for example eco-efficiencies, then, the real change starts by implementing the Trojan horse strategy that is changing people minds and hearts trough coaching (ei. FSSD) and measurable matters (ei. green balance scorecard ) that ensure the right path towards a real sustainable vision. Is always difficult to find an organization to implement the Trojan horse but once you really implemented is great how it really becomes part of the DNA of people and organizations. Once they adopted for their initial ($) driver, then, it can not be stop it anymore: a Trojan horse.

The end of British Petroleum or BP´S strategic Transformation





Whose to blame on the Oil Spill of the Gulf of Mexico?, I should say there are two answers; 1. the Easy answer BP,, 2. the real answer is US! Yea our society is the one to blame we are addict to dirty oil, unfortunable these are the kind of catastrophes’ that become a wake up call for governments to shift to clean energy, I remember back in Sweden we present the case of BP Solar and BP Wind as cases in which the oil industry is trying to shift towards a sustainable clean energy , after the gulf spill catastrophes and the fact that BP may have their final days on a medium term due the law suits, clean up payments and the most important nobody will like to make business with such a company,, I am wondering shouldn´t consider create an capitalized as much as they can their efforts on sustainable clean energy , I mean there a lot of people that work on BP and BP trade mark is now totally associated to major pollution, etc, an strategic advisor a good one will see this as an opportunity to redirect efforts into a sustainability path sort of offsetting their major previous mistakes, helping somehow in the recovery of the gulf, put all or most of their revenues into clean energy and sustainable projects , eliminate at maximum their drilling operation, or gradually shift it core business into clean energy and sustainability. Anyway the gulf of Mexico, all it´s biodiversity, the people of the zone areas the real victims or I should say we are victims of our major and sick dependency on oil. Of course as you all may know: WE MUST CHANGE!, However and unfortunable we need major steps from our governments, leaders and companies. The good thing you can do a lot to reduce or ELIMINATE the oil consumption on a personal scale, so at the end it´s a matter of CHANGE or not , or I should say Change will come but when? , can we do it before is to late?,, sometimes I am afraid that will takes us many catastrophes like this or whorst,, such is humane nature. One only can really hope that we dont have to deal with this issues no more.
