NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 11, 2007 --Ewire -- Can industrial dinosaurs learn fast
enough to embrace sustainability challenges? Can entrepreneurial mammals
grow fast enough to make a difference?
These are the questions Peter M. Senge, founding chairperson of The Society
for Organizational Learning (SoL) and author of "The Fifth Discipline: the
Art and Practice of the Learning Organization" will be discussing with John
Elkington, Founder, Director, and Chief Entrepreneur, SustainAbility,

business practices entitled "Conversations on the Art and Practice of
Sustainable Enterprise" being sponsored by The Sustainability Consortium of

Ottman Consulting, a leading consultancy on green marketing and
eco-innovation.
