Problems!!!   Increasing complexity of regulations covering environmental and occupational health and safety issues, coupled with increased integration of materials in our manufactured products have created a problem for enterprises today.  That problem is even more acute for those with connections to the European Union. Too often, “problem solvers” leap into action, throwing resources at the apparent problem in a “ready, fire, aim” model which seldom produces lasting effective solutions.

Solutions!!! The reality is that there are only three resources which can be applied to implementing effective solutions:

  • People - - with their embedded experience and judgment
  • Processes - - tested and replicable methodologies which have proven successful in similar conditions
  • Tools - - including computer systems which permit management of huge volumes of data and modeling of alternative scenarios to test for, select and execute the proper solution
Many resources, whether internal staff or vendors applying for your business, are limited by their skills.  Too often, they resemble Drucker’s famous person who was so good with a hammer that everything looked like a nail. Your compliance problems do have elements similar to those which have been solved for other enterprises.  But, as with any company, your situation has some unique elements. Attempting to craft a solution from a blank “square one” would take more time than you have.  However, presuming that your problem is just like those a vendor solved for another client dangerously ignores what is special about you.

The Green EcoSystems Group offers a different model for your consideration.

In The Art of War, Sun Tzu offers two admonitions which recommend this model to our attention:

  • “Discover an opportunity by listening.  Adjust to your situation.  Get assistance from the outside.  Influence events.  Think about opportunities in terms of methods you can control.”
  • “You must be creative in your planning.  You must adapt to your opportunities and weaknesses.  You can use a variety of approaches and still have a consistent result.  You must adjust to a variety of problems and consistently solve them.
The Green EcoSystems Group brings four key resources to the problem solving “battle” for you.
  • People - - We have our own people with wide experience with Product Environmental Compliance issues, all over the globe.
  • Processes - - We have methodologies ready to use (or modify and then use) to quickly implement the right solution.
  • Tools - - Our software suite has been designed to allow your company to rapidly implement a comprehensive Substance Management System. 
  • Leadership - - Unlike other vendors clamoring for you to outsource to them, we recognize that sometimes the solution lies in beefing up your internal staff.  Uniquely, we also offer a targeted executive search service, Green EcoSearch, to find just the right addition.

Using all of these resources, our approach for you involves three distinct phases:

  1. Assess - - Following the mantra “seek first to understand”, our consultative staff will work with yours to define the extent of your exposures and present compliance level.  This will result in an objective picture of your compliance strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
  2. Recommend - - Knowing your internal capabilities and the requirements on them, we will recommend the most effective mix of resources, both internal and contracted external, to solve your problems.
  3. Execute - -When Green EcoSystems Group is selected as your implementer, a portion of the fees for the first two phases may be rebated. If you choose to implement internally, but feel you need more or better staff, our executive search arm is available to help in finding qualified staff. In many cases, however a selective outsourcing strategy offers several benefits; the most important of which may be time to meet regulatory imposed deadlines. Green EcoSystems Group can become a member of your team while allowing your organization the ability to execute on its product and facilities compliance strategies. Simultaneously, we, working in conjunction with our executive search partner, Search Spectrum, can build a plan to recruit a permanent compliance executive and staff his/her team. Green Eco’s Selective Outsourcing approach will minimize delays in compliance execution activities while allowing a long term manpower solution to be put in place.

Product Environmental Compliance and Environmental Safety are very complex and challenging worlds, creating new problems for you daily.  Green EcoSystems Group feels you should not have to face them alone without a plan.
