ABOUT
At Cornerstone Sustainability, we work with Senior Leaders of councils and organisations in regional Australia to put their passion for sustainable communities into action.
We do this by aligning their ambitions with strategies and step change projects, and sourcing resources, to make a bigger impact sooner.
Our vision for the people we serve is for them to embrace the power of organisations to address community problems and create positive long term change.
Together we work towards the empowerment of community champions, in regional Australia.
This means obtaining clarity on their vision and having the plans and capacity to take action.
LIZ OTTO
Principal Consultant and Director
Passionate about sustainability
Cornerstone Sustainability is putting my passion for sustainability into action. My bold vision is to help business owners, regional organisations, and councils in regional areas to do more and achieve more.
My talent is taking a bird’s eye view to strategic planning, then zooming in to the micro details of project planning to create a logical, practical, and long term approach to planning and project implementation. I am happiest when I can apply these skills working with people who share a vision for improving the quality of life and quality of the environment for all. Which is what sustainability is all about.
Privileged to have worked across many industries and regions in Queensland and nationally, has resulted in a colourful array of policy, planning and project experiences and insights. Too many to list!
I started consulting in 2011, having previously been employed with natural resource management organisations, industry organisations and the Australian government. I am professionally trained in project management, facilitation, program logic, monitoring and evaluation, and assessment and workplace training.
PLANNING WITH PURPOSE
Our logical, practical approach to planning
The stability, security and prosperity of individual organisations through to regions, and every step in between, is underpinned by critical decision making that balances economic, social, and environmental drivers.
Cornerstone Sustainability works with organisations to apply a triple bottom line and integrated planning approach for sustainability across principles, policies, strategies, and actions toward short and long term outcomes.
We provide planning and project management services that ensure sustainability strategies and actions have the greatest impact in your organisation and community.
Our approach is underpinned by our four cornerstones to achieve targeted change.
CLARITY - Clarity on vision, what’s important, and environmental, economic, and social values.
CHANGE - Assess the current situation, set targets and strategies to achieve change towards the vision.
CAPACITY - Plan SMART actions and KPIs, and leverage resources for greatest success.
CONFIDENCE - Set feedback loops for confidence that progress is on track, review and respond.
