Presentation given in Sydney to the Women Chiefs of Enterprise International (#WCEI2011) on key change drivers affecting consumer values and business practice
This paper was written in 1992. It was an attempt to introduce a different, more holistic mindset to thinking about tourism and contains many themes that have consistently and persistently underpinned my thinking.
The 7 Shifts were developed by Tommy Crawford, Brian Fitzgerald, Amrekha Sharma, and Iris Maertens to help frame a change agenda for Greenpeace International. They were derived from a series of workshops worldwide that articulated Greenpeace's overarching story and posed the question: "What would be different about the organisation that truly lived that story from the organisation of today?"
Tommy and Brian now help other beautiful troublemakers articulate their stories and their shifts through their creative agency, Dancing Fox.

On January 30th, 2014, Rainforest Alliance hosted a group of innovative specialists in consumer behavior to brainstorm a new global narrative that taps into the consumer shift towards a broader and more meaningful set of values around mindful living and sustainability.
Compelling information on consumer trends were presented by experts including Tom LaForge of Coca-Cola, Chris Coulter of GlobeScan, Chip Walker of BAV Consulting, Amy du Pon of Havas, Carol Fitzgerald of BuzzBack Market Research, KoAnn Skrzyniarz of Sustainable Brands, Jonah Sachs of Free Range Studios, and Thatcher Young of ignition. Raphael Bemporad of BBMG then led a creative ideation session that inspired the findings in this report.
Science alerts us that to significantly slow down Climate Change we have to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and to be neutral by 2050. This requires that the events sector radically rethinks and redesigns our business strategies to not only become more sustainable, but to catalyse other industries while we regenerate our host environments and communities.
This raises the question are we ready to undertake the deep and exponential changes to survive, do we have the leadership capacities that this demands? And perhaps most importantly do we need to speed up the existing industry evolution or start a low carbon revolution?
In this inspiring, interactive and educating session, we will enter into a deep conversation, exploring the pioneering strategies and actions required to transform tomorrows events industry from one disrupted by a climate emergency to a sector that creates a prosperous future for all.
The session is designed to unlock the collective intelligence of the audience through a series of short Firestarter speeches from sustainability leaders from destinations, venues and clients, followed by a moderated debate and knowledge interchange between all participants.

7. Big Business IS Getting the Message
“ population growth,
exploitation of natural

that is not sustainable…if
we fail to alter our
patterns of production
and consumption, things
will begin to go badly
wrong”

8. Costs and Risk to Increase
“ The resources on which businesses
rely will become more difficult to
access and more costly. There
will be an increasing strain on
infrastructure and natural systems
as patterns of economic growth
and wealth change. Physical
assets and supply chains will be
affected by the unpredictable
results of a warming world. And
business will be confronted with
an ever more complex web of
legislation and fiscal instruments.”

9. Seeing Opportunities Also
“ the bold, the visionary
and the innovative
recognise that what is
good for people and
the planet will also be
good for the long-term
bottom line and
shareholder value…
competitive advantage
can be carved out of
emerging risk.”
