The foundation of our management strategy is its proprietary process called Business Vision Alignment.™  In simple terms it is a process used to see eye to eye with executive business management on how EHS adds value to the business. Vision Alignment is particularly useful to determine business management’s key priorities, sensitivities and performance metrics. It is also worthwhile to determine if there are any major "disconnects" among the executives over the vision, goals, timing, and objectives. Another useful purpose is to both deliver key messages about the EHS group (e.g., major successes and goals) and also probe for concerns about how the EHS organization is currently performing (e.g., What should it be doing better? More of? Less of?). Vision Alignment combines both the art and the science of executive management interactions.  For more information click on the picture at the top left.

The technique used by Richard MacLean & Associates to rigorously examine draft reports based on a three dimensional SPACE™ evaluation (Strategic Performance And Consistency Evaluation) which is then benchmarked against other global reports. Reporting today is sophisticated and it is necessary to "peel away" the layers to get at the reality of: (1) how well a company is reporting relative to standards and industry peers; (2) how well the company is performing and meeting it"s reported targets; and (3) how internally consistent and credible is the presentation.

Metric Stakeholder Mapping is a proprietary methodology CE uses to map internal, company metrics against those tracked by external stakeholders (e.g., regulatory authorities, environmental activists, and Non Government Organizations [NGOs]) and those under current development by various organizations (e.g., trade associations, professional societies, academics, government agencies, and NGOs).  It is not what companies have traditionally tracked that matters, it is what stakeholders will track and what government agencies will regulate that really matters.  That is the basis for CE"s  Metric Stakeholder Mapping process.

Benchmarking: Conducted scores of benchmarking programs for a variety of areas, most recently on EHS shared services organizational structure. In the process of doing this, established extensive contacts within industry, the media, NGO’s, and regulatory agencies, both domestically and internationally.
