A global stakeholder economy movement: Bluedog earns Certified B Corp and Best for the World Workers status Bluedog’s 20+ year dedication to a stakeholder economy with business transparency, social equity, and environmental justice laid the groundwork for our official B Corp certification in 2020, followed by two consecutive years recognized as a Best For The World Workers B Corp reserved for the global top 5% of B Corps! We’re proud to renew this designation again, securing our consistent place in a globally-aligned community of businesses committed to doing good while doing business. We like to think we’re setting an example for others to follow. And this is one area where we’d welcome some healthy competition. So, join us!

Just 3.5 weeks until Bluedog's StoryCraft workshop! One of the questions we get from clients about this training session is: “Ok, I understand the overarching value of being a better storyteller—but can you give me some specific examples of benefits I'll take away from this?” We wanted to share a few here: - Better diagnose how your (boss / key stakeholder / customer / etc.) makes decisions so you can craft your recommendation in a way that makes it an easier "Yes!" - Understand how to get ahead of potential barriers to what you’re trying to accomplish, and even convert your Detractors into Advocates. - Use targeted strategies to make your audience more naturally open and responsive, including techniques that show you're actively engaging with them. - Get our top-favorite facilitators’ frameworks that you can apply immediately to better manage complex conversations and collaborative decision-making.
