Summit Agenda
Not your average conference...
We've all attended conferences in which presenters
talked AT us for session after never-ending session. The
Lean and Green Summit is a next-generation conference
that will involve attendees with a high degree of peer
and presenter interaction. The Summit will incorporate
the proven collaboration tools of Open Space and
World Café to maximize learning and
results.
Open Space Technology
Open Space Technology is an
engaging, participative methodology that
is designed to help people self-organize
in order to focus productively on the
issues that matter to them as a group.
Developed by Harrison Owen, the process
encourages individuals to identify and
host conversations and to invite others
to participate, by choice, in the topics
of interest to them. It is effective in
situations where a diverse group of
people must deal with complex and
potentially conflicting material in
innovative and productive ways. www.openspaceworld.org
World Café
An intentional way to create a
living network of conversations in which
new knowledge, new relationships, and
creative insights can emerge. Developed
by Juanita Brown and David Isaacs of
Whole Systems Associates, from their
extensive experience with grass-roots
community organizing and social change,
the process simulates conversations one
might have with a small group of people
in a café setting and encourages
cross-pollination of ideas. It has been
used worldwide in corporations and
communities to engage multiple
stakeholders in questions that matter to
them collectively.

Engineering Sustainable
Operational
Processes
Presenter: Dave Gustashaw,
Interface, Inc.
 In
this session you will be
introduced to what it truly
means to be sustainable. As Dave
Gustashaw will explain,
sustainable operations aren't
what most people think. By
explaining Interface's journey,
you will learn to look at
sustainability through a
different lens and how it's not
simply about compliance.
In fact, if you address
sustainability as Interface has,
compliance takes a backseat as a
"non-issue."

People in a Green
Organization
Presenter:
Jeff Harvey, President and CEO
of Burgerville
 One
of the largest barriers to Lean
is often people and corporate
culture. It's no different when
your company moves on the road
to Green and sustainability.
Hear from Jeff Harvey, President
and CEO of Burgerville how they
address the people and culture
side of their business.
FROM BURGERVILLE'S
WEBSITE...
Central to the heart of the
company, Burgerville people
are at the center of what
allows our company to live
its values to their fullest
extent. Without strong,
vibrant, healthy people,
there can be no healthy
families or healthy
community. At Burgerville,
we believe in developing
people throughout our
organization. Leading and
thriving in the midst of
change calls for alert,
reflective and creative
people—people who are
flexible in the face of
change and who bring their
spirit and imagination to
bear on the problems and
issues at hand. By growing
their leadership abilities,
employees learn how to
powerfully manage change and
serve with love not matter
the circumstances they
encounter. Leadership at
this level contributes
innovation and creates
sustainable impact, which
grows our business and
serves our community.

Performance Measurement
Roundtable
How
do you measure whether you are
truly sustainable or not? What
is your true impact on nature?
Unfortunately, there's a
proliferation of different set
of metrics, so how do you make
sense of what metrics make sense
for your organization.
In
this session you will learn how
to define metrics for green and
sustainability, so a company can
measure its progress and
understand what are the
important few things to measure
(and not the trivial many).
-
Discuss how these metrics
integrate (or don’t
integrate) with traditional
financial metrics.
-
Understand the conflicts
with finance and directive
management that come with
dedication to lean and
sustainability.
