Proprietary Diagnostic Tools for Sustainability Change Management

Aleen has developed four proprietary diagnostic tools that pinpoint cultural obstacles to adoption. The data and actionable insight gleaned from these tools provide a foundation for working with an organization’s internal resources to advance sustainability objectives.

Sustainability Cultural Alignment Assessment℠
This cultural survey quickly identifies which attributes and values are needed to support your sustainable practices and which may need to be transformed. Anchored by the recognized Barrett model for cultural values assessment, this tool highlights sustainability-oriented values and develops the messaging and training programs to align internal stakeholders with the company’s vision.

Sustainability Readiness Index℠
Understanding an organization's degree of readiness for sustainability is one of the first steps toward identifying and addressing obstacles before they derail the plan. Based upon change readiness models, the Sustainability Readiness Index provides a straightforward, actionable and predictive scorecard that helps shape the design of effective sustainability programs and initiatives.

Leadership Competency Model for Sustainability℠
Aleen has identified seven primary competencies required for authentic adoption of sustainability practices in organizations. The Leadership Competency Model for Sustainability imbeds these competencies into an organization’s existing leadership competency model and/or performance management system, orienting leadership actions with sustainability objectives.

Sustainability Message Map
Effectively communicating sustainability practices can provide an important competitive advantage. With this tool, Aleen audits current marketing and internal communications material and recommends adjustments to ensure messages resonate with both internal and external stakeholders.
