Description
Killpack Group offers Change Management and Sustainable Strategy Consulting. I help clients navigate the landscape of green options, as well as supporting other types of change initiatives.
Green Steps Taken
My business offsets carbon for transportation, minimally uses recycled paper, leverages PC efficiency software and power management, uses fluorescent lighting & water-saver features, actively practices waste reduction (all types) and works with clients to model these types of behavior.
Currently Working On
I am currently focusing my efforts on a diagnostic tool that assess current state and recommendations for most features of business: facilities, operations, sales/marketing, leadership/strategy, HR/ employee culture, transportation & costs.
I am also co-teaching at Presidio School of Mgmt’s Sustainable MBA program. I teach critical people skills to upcoming leaders in sustainablity.
Surprising Successes
My biggest surprise has been realizing that most things I learned about being sustainable have come from the wisdom of my grandparents. Growing up during The Depression taught them amazing conservation & waste reduction values, which many people are just starting to understand today. It has been refreshing to know that I have been this way all along, because of their role modeling. Someday, we will be the role models for upcoming generations too!
Having Trouble With
Public transportation is a constant challenge for me. As a consultant and professor, I have a ‘mobile office’ that I have to bring on outings. It is very cumbersome and not always practical to use public transit with such luggage in tow.
Growing Your Business
Sales & Marketing are the critical elements in growing any business. I think these will be areas of lifelong learning for me.
Giving Back
I support the local community by shopping at the farmers market (in season), through donations, buying local & sustainable products, sharing the fruit from my backyard & using public transit when appropriate.
