Our services
The Transition Approach has seen phenomenal success in engaging and motivating thousands of communities world-wide to take responsibility for themselves. In these ‘transition communities’, hundreds of individuals are getting together and unleashing their creativity, genius and enthusiasm in tackling the energy-related (as as well as economic and environmental) challenges that face them.
The approach to unlocking this extraordinary level of innovation, commitment and enthusiasm is equally applicable to organisations. We help you to engage all your stakeholders, but particularly employees, customers and suppliers, in tackling current and upcoming challenges. The processes, tools and techniques of the Transition Approach are all embedded in our service offering.
We organise our services according to the typical stages that a business or organisation goes through on its journey to greater resilience and capitalising on new opportunities. Some organisations may proceed in a linear fashion, others do some of each at the same time. The most appropriate services for you depend on your own particular circumstances and the progress you've already made. These stages, and our related services, are:
- Understand the situation – the latest facts about peak oil and climate change and what it might mean to you, your organisation, your sector. See service Surviving Transition and Transition for Local Authorities.
- Manage your risks – identify your areas of greatest risk and vulnerability both short and long term, and potential solutions. See service Energy Resilience Assessment.
- Build new revenue streams – identify opportunities for more sustainable income sources in a resource and energy constrained world. See service Opportunities in a low Carbon Future.
- Create and deliver a new vision – engage your employees' energy and creativity in imagining, and delivering, what may be a fundamentally different business or organisational model. See service Designing for Resilience.
