David Mitchell, past CEO of the Canadian Public Policy Forum Why Buy and Use This Guide Book? "We can only meet our critical global and local challenges with collective intelligence."

My Sustain Magazine (2013) served organizations committed to the economic and social opportunities of sustainability. I realize there is a significant gap. That gap is the absence of a readily accessible, informative, and practical guide for you. You may not have the time or resources to bring together all the wisdom. And you still have dreams, aspirations, purpose, and teams to create, encourage, and accomplish. This Better by Design guidebook is intended to help you decide, design, assess, lead, and succeed in your initiatives and projects.
