West Michigan Sustainable Business Practice – Assessment & Benchmarking Pilot Group
Participate in West Michigan Sustainable Business Practice Pilot Group at No Cost, sign-up beginning June 1, 2010.
Overview of Pilot Group & Assessment Content
Thank you for your interest in participating as a founding member in the measurement and benchmarking of Sustainable Business Practices for the West Michigan business community. This initiative will provide each participating organization with an opportunity to assess, measure, and generate a customized action plan to accelerate performance in four key areas—environmental, social, cultural and workplace diversity, and economic sustainable business practices. At completion of your organization’s assessment, you will receive your own action plan with recommendations, assessment score, and access to the regional benchmark information following the close of the Pilot.
Your assessment score will also be anonymously added to baseline performance benchmark for sustainable business practices in West Michigan. The Pilot Group program will be closed in late August so that the aggregate benchmark can be released to all participants.
This Pilot Group initiative will be a three-month effort as outlined in the timeline below.

How to Start
To participate, simply click on the participate button on this page. The Pilot Group Quick-Start assessment is provided online through the secured dmStrategists web-platform. It features very easy-to-use, intuitive functionality.

The assessment will take roughly 15 minutes to complete—this is best done by the designated company leader for sustainability. dmStrategists does the rest of the reporting work, including:
- Processing of confidential real-time results for each participating organization. An action plan with recommendations will be provided to each organization upon completion of the Quick-Start assessment.
- Processing of regional benchmark results compiled from the results of all Pilot Group organizations.
Pricing: The Pilot Group assessment will be conducted at no cost to you. Sign-up now and take your 15- minute assessment anytime before the Pilot Group closes on August 13, 2010.
