Footprint's Pathfinder programme is a subtle blend of training, mentoring and consulting - all focussed on solving a challenging problem, developing a real project and/or implementing a process of change within an organisation, or among its stakeholders.

We've developed a programme to help universities get maximum value from their participation in Universities that Count - the emerging standard for benchmarking sustainability and social responsibility in UK Higher Education Institutions.

We've been supporting the University of Edinburgh's social responsibility and sustainability agenda, and their 2009 UTC submission. David Somervell, Sustainability Adviser, University of Edinburgh said:

“Osbert Lancaster has given our social responsibility, sustainability & climate change agenda a real lift — bringing perspective, experience and a critical eye to bear on our thinking.”

The Pathfinder approach makes explicit something we've always believed is important: the journey is just as important as the destination. This has always informed our work as we've helped a wide range of organisations address a variety of challenges, over many years.

The Pathfinder programme:

• Delivers real life outcomes, not just training outcomes;
• Creates actual change, not just a report;
• Leaves a legacy of relevant knowledge, skills and experience, not just a resource pack;
• Doesn’t do case studies. It helps organisations solve problems, develop projects and implement change processes that matter. For real.
