This curve describes the evolution of an organisation as it moves through the different stages of managing carbon emissions in its value chain.
Stage one represents the conscious awakening of organisations to carbon emissions but without the knowledge or maturity within their systems thinking to begin taking action.
As an organisation recognises the need to take responsibility for carbon emissions, it commits to investing in capacity building programs which in turn results in the ability to implement robust carbon systems & processes for managing carbon effectively. The greater the carbon 'capacity' of the organisation the better at performance managing carbon emissions it will be. By building capacity the organisation can move quickly through stages 2 to 4.
Carbon capacity is a function of the evolved knowledge, learning & technical infrastructure that the organisation has.
The vertical axis describes the level of capability embedded within the organisation, as it moves up this axis the more competent and capable it becomes.
Those organisations at the top of the curve are regarded as high performance carbon management organisation because of the carbon capacity that they have built up and deployed into the business.
At each stage of development an organisation will commit to different programs of support to enable it to move up the performance management curve, such as training.
CTI enables organisations to move to stage 4 quickly by helping with the capacity building of staff through carbon management training.
Staff training enables internal ownership of the behavioural & decision making changes required for organisations to adapt to the low carbon economy.
Well-trained workers are able to reduce risks and harvest opportunities on a continuous basis that will pay dividends to the business. |
