NBIS (Network for Business Innovation and Sustainability)


Company Visited: NBIS (Network for Business Innovation and Sustainability)

Where: Seattle, Washington

Website: http://nbis.org

Mission per company’s website: “NBIS provides Businesses and Professionals who are serious about Profitable Sustainability with the connections, skills, tools, programs, and resources that are vital for success in the Green Economy.”

Final Thoughts: We met with this person Karl. This is what was said it is a 10-year-old company that had a concern to a planet for his grandchildren. It helps business become sustainable by providing workshops.  They mentioned DM strategic software SBP360 that has been out and takes date from other sources and use it for sustainable matrix. The main goal is to accelerated profitable sustainability. It relays on promotion and marketing to push their personal and virtual consulting products.  The scopes will be 1. Fuel reduction 2. Energy buy utility 3. Everything else. They work with McKinstry and collaborate between companies. Personal and family ideas to change the world are what make me passionate to be a change agent for the world. Sustainability is also for profit and not always a nonprofit. Not all sustainable makes profit and need to find the niche where the profit can be taken. Marketing and promotion of an idea or initiative is crucial for the success of an initiative. Employees need to be rewarded for the work done. The scopes used by the company could be a baseline for an intra-policy for any company. There is open range of options to implement sustainable ideas or initiatives.
