Life - a characteristic that distinguishes things that have self-sustaining process from those that do not.  

Successful business leaders will likely tell you that one of the key to unlocking potential is a combination of clear communication, active engagement, and continuous learning.  How a culture integrates and supports business’s intentions, plans, and strategies can be as important as the actions themselves. Our professional consulting asks business planners:  Is there life in your business plan?    With companies working diligently on jump-starting their 2011 business plans, many will fail to actively engage and expand the eco awareness of their internal and external stakeholders.  This critical misstep can affect the life and health of the business and its actions through the year.   However, that dusty old plan can have a new life with applied sustainability concepts and active involvement.
