WholeWorks has been delivering custom consulting, whole system modeling, and leadership development programs based on simulation since 1997. WholeWorks offered publicly available certification programs from 2019 through 2023 (‘Leading the Sustainability Transformation’ and ‘Strategic ESG: Creating Sustainable Value’). Over that time they offered those programs with affiliates including the University of Vermont, University of Victoria, GreenBiz, and pta.

Our advisory, consultants, and facilitators are leaders in the field of sustainable business—with more than 200 years of collective experience—and include:

• Stuart L. Hart, Ph.D., author of Capitalism at the Crossroads; founder of globally recognized sustainable business programs at the University of Michigan (now Erb Institute at the Ross School of Business); University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School; Cornell University SC Johnson School of Business; University of Vermont Sustainable Innovation MBA.

• Neil C. Hawkins, Ph.D., former Chief Sustainability Officer of Dow, Inc; President Erb Family Foundation.

• Dave Stangis, MBA, Partner and CSO, Apollo Management, inc.; former Chief Sustainability Officer of Campbell Soup; founder of 21C Impact, LLC.

• Deirdre White, CEO PYXERA Global

• John Davies, Senior Vice President, GreenBiz

• Matt Mayberry, Ph.D. MBA, Founder and CEO of WholeWorks

• Laura Asiala, MSOD, former Director of Citizenship & Communications at Dow Corning Corporation; former Vice President of Communications & Public Affairs at PYXERA Global, CSO WholeWorks

Our sustainability programs were designed for working, experienced professionals and leaders to integrate material environmental, social, and governance factors into their work, companies, and industries in order to create more sustainable enterprise. More than 350 leaders and professionals from 35 countries earned a certification powered by WholeWorks through the University of Victoria Gustavson School of Business, GreenBiz, the University of Vermont, pta, or their company from 2019 through 2023. They completed rigorous online modules, managed a simulated company over a decade (or two), and developed an applied project for which they received expert coaching and peer review.

The simulation-based certification programs that WholeWorks ran from 2019 through 2023 were very successful (350+ alumni from 35 countries with a 95+% completion rate), but the market demand did not warrant the level of investment required to maintain them.

WholeWorks also develops custom programs, simulations and models as part of their consulting practice.

Yes! We still offer simulation-based sustainable business and/or leadership development programs for clients as part of our consulting practice.
