Methodology

In this new era of sustainability and stewardship, the importance of embracing new approaches and methodologies towards performance management is paramount if real change is to occur. Organizations must consider alternatives to the “status quo” in order to realize and achieve measurable success in meeting the evolving goals of improved operating, energy and environmental efficiencies, stakeholder transparency, accountability and social responsibility.

Recognizing this need, 4tell™ developed the iPlan™ Sustainable Performance Governance Solution to help organizations improve their performance along financial, energy, environmental and social dimensions to achieve sustainable results.

“Sustainability” has been defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Organizations operate within an economic, energy, environmental, and social context – which comprise the “4” key pillars of sustainability. Sustainable organizations seek to understand and balance these “4” pillars so they can “tell”, on an ongoing and predictable basis, the impact of their operations so they may better steward their economic and natural resources taking into account the needs of future generations.

4tell’s solutions implement strategic planning processes (plan, capture, analyze and execute) by incorporating the four pillars of sustainability (financial, energy, environmental and social factors) into performance optimization for the built environment.

4tell’s solutions support the goals, objectives and business processes that drive decision making of executives responsible for delivering organizational financial performance and accountability as well as the process of facility, energy and security stakeholders and managers charged with improving the financial, energy, environmental, and safety performance of their strategic assets.
