SERVICES
SUSTAINABILITY OUTCOMES VISIONING
Creating A Realistic Vision And Aligned Stakeholders To Ensure Successful Sustainability Outcomes
This service is three-phased coaching and consulting engagement that culminates in a clear and mutually-agreed-upon statement of outcomes for the sustainability function at your organization. On average, it takes from 3-6 months to complete this process, but the impact will last for decades if not longer. The sustainability outcomes statement is a foundational tool that operates like a social compact, guiding the efforts of sustainability leaders and satisfying diverse stakeholder groups.
LEADER COACHING
Achieving Meaningful And Durable Outcomes For Business, Society, Nature And Your Personal Legacy
This service is an annual coaching engagement, parsed across 12 monthly sessions, between a leader charged with environmental and sustainability outcomes and Jody Bickel, CEO and Founder of Creekbank Associates. Usually, these leaders are change agents seeking to achieve big goals and visionary plans, often swimming upstream against a tide of inertia.
Strategic Business and Project Solutions for Ecological & Sustainability Issues
Making Informed Business Decisions About the Environment
This service is a consulting engagement where our team of expert advisors ideate and craft customized strategies that integrate performance-based environmental outcomes into daily business decision-making. The results, for many of our clients, have included new lines of revenue, cost savings and measurable, meaningful conservation progress in meeting their public commitments. After working with multiple extractive industries and entities responsible for millions of acres of natural resources, we noticed three common issues that keep them from effectively caring for these assets, capitalizing on these non-traditional lines of revenue and linking these actions with their environmental promises.

We can also steward the implementation of projects. The results for many of our clients have included new revenues from idle and stranded realty assets, internal alignment on go-or-no-go decision-making, cost savings in meeting compliance requirements and improved business deal outcomes.
