The Transitioning to Green Knowledge Exchange (KE) is designed as a portal through which you connect to information about trends, best practices and innovations in the green spaces of your field.  The ideas and links presented here are selected to help people understand what a "green economy" means and what its implications and opportunities are within selected industry sectors and job functions. The KE builds on insights and deepens learning that participants gained in the Transitioning to Green Forum™.

During times of economic change, resources, capital, opportunities and risk are redefined and often more than once.  Additionally, the lines that have separated industries and functions blur as businesses adjust to new competition as well as coopetition, changing customer demands and technological advances.

The job security that people have come to expect if they worked hard and achieved results will no longer be there for many workers in the foreseeable future.  To succeed in gaining and holding employment, and building careers in today’s uncertain environment requires that people become entrepreneurial managers of their own careers, well-grounded in all that made them successful in the past while at the same time learning, evaluating and incorporating new work methodologies and technologies that will be essential to move them and their fields into advantageous positions both today and into a greener future.

In order to prepare for this new business landscape and an emerging green economy, job seekers, career builders, and business managers and human resources professionals need to take a three-pronged approach to individual and workforce learning and management that goes hand-in-hand with the triple bottom line goals of businesses: prudent management of material resources (planet), interpersonal effectiveness (people), and prosperous enterprise (profit).

Effectively engaged exchanges of knowledge plus identification of which information is most important to support a green objective can together significantly further the greening of careers and businesses enterprises.

The information in the KE is selected to help:
