The course introduces students to the process of evaluating the current state of an organization. They will explore a variety of standards to complete an assessment to include the SOAR framework. Additional attention will focus on industry-relevant sustainability standards such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, ISO 14001, ISO & QS 9000 quality management, the SAE J4000 lean operation standard, or the B Impact Assessment. All planning work focuses on strengths and seeks to understand the whole system by including the voices of the relevant stakeholders. |
