With the rising challenge of climate change and the impact of organizations on the natural environment, future managers must be prepared to lead their organizations in finding innovative and sustainable solutions to problems and alternatives to current approaches. Management educators focused on sustainability have an important role to play in terms of drawing attention to the need for organizations to be sustainable and in preparing students to support sustainability through driving and implementing innovation. This professional development workshop includes a series of presentations by experienced and diverse management educators focused on teaching techniques and tools that can be used in management and leadership classes related to sustainability and organizations and the natural environment. Presentations will include innovative approaches to teaching but also teaching students to drive innovation that supports sustainable organizations. The emphasis of the session will specifically be on teaching practice and each presenter will explain and demonstrate tools or techniques in a way that allows the audience to expand their skills and knowledge through immediate application. This session is proposed and moderated by the Organizations and the Natural Environment Division’s teaching team to encourage effective teaching on sustainability.
