• Gain a broad understanding of corporate citizenship concepts and trends.
• Assess the competitive landscape, using leading business strategy models such as Porter’s Five Forces and Blue Ocean Strategy and identify opportunities for corporate citizenship to support business strategy.

• Conduct evaluations to show social and business value for corporate citizenship investment
• Evaluate your existing corporate citizenship portfolio assets
• Communicate effectively internally and across functions to gain stakeholder buy-in, align project goals and outcomes, and engage employees with proven tools such as a Message Triangle and the application of “sticky” communication principles
• Understand the emerging role of sustainability reporting in communicating corporate citizenship internally and externally

Eligible attendees will take advantage of incredible values through this program:

• Money savings – The certificate is significantly discounted from the standard tuition rate for a Boston College certificate, which is normally split into five separate modules across the country. (The standard certification can cost up to $14,500, not counting travel expenses.)

• Convenience – Attending significantly discounted courses in DaVita HealthCare Partners’ beautiful downtown Denver conference space provides incredible savings on travel expenses.

• Time – Rather than taking time off work and traveling to different cities for one course at at time, attendees will be able to capture the entire certification in one short week.

• Professional connections – Course participants will learn alongside local peers and will keep the conversations going long after the program ends.

*Boston College requires that all attendees work in corporate social responsibility positions for a business or corporate foundation. Unfortunately, consultants and nonprofit representatives are not eligible to attend, but B:CIVIC is in the process of developing certifications for all representatives of the Colorado business community.
