Guided by the holistic criteria shown below, our consultants assess and address qualities that identify, activate,
and express healthful organizational DNA and renewable success. Holistic success, a.k.a. the Triple Bottom Line, reflects beneficial outcomes in the interrelated
areas of Community, Ecology, and Economy which, when achieved together, enrich quality of life.
In order to best achieve triple bottom line
performance, an organization must establish triple top line
intentions, strategies, and measures. It is essential to understand that triple-line performance
is expressed within the organization, as well as outside
of the organization's walls. What happens in the organization does not stay there; it becomes transparent to the outside world instantaneously these days. A triple top line ensures
that an organization does more than give the appearance of doing good.
