DRUCKER’S 5 I. What business are you in? II. Who are your competitors? III. Who are your customers? IV. What do those customers care about? V. What should we be really good at?
DRUCKER’S 5 I. What business are you in? Inspiring a green generation through education and personal action II. Who are your competitors? Other “green” organizations that ask for funding and donations III. Who are your customers? Donors and Schools (teachers, parents and kids)
DRUCKER’S 5 IV. What do those customers care about?
Donors: reputation, CSR, monetary incentives
School community: improved curriculum, saving money, teaching/learning, fun
V. What are you really good at? Making complex stuff actionable: helping people to achieve observable and tangible results that matter
OUR BRIEF: THE OIIC I. Objective: a real, measurable and transformational business objective II. Issue: the one thing that currently stands in our way to meet the objective III. Insight: the truth we know about people that will help us overcome the issue IV. Challenge: what do we need to do (not say!) to meet the objective
OUR BRIEF: THE OIIC I.
Objective Increase funding by X% before the end of next school year (2013/14) to accommodate 400 schools in the program
II. Issue People often view environmental charities as ‘vague’ and trying to achieve unattainable ‘global’ goals. It is difficult to see the value of a donation or program if the benefits are unclear or elevated into the ‘impersonal’
OUR BRIEF: THE OIIC III. Insight People and organizations care most about things that impact them directly and that give immediate rewards to their community IV. Challenge: Move the perception about Dream in Green from ‘another green initiative’ to a way to impact your local environment NOW with direct benefits for you

ORGANIZING IDEA
TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT
MANIFESTO “A little change goes a long way. When you take charge of your environment, we can accomplish not only local, but global sustainability goals. Education becomes action, and action becomes impact. Rather than simply encouraging change, we empower you to make changes in your own life and your community. Through specialized programs, we equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to create a greener future. Our Green Schools Challenge motivates children to participate in a competition that has global impact from a local level. Our future is green, and change is not an option. It is a necessity we can only achieve together.�
