21st Turtle in Brief 21st Turtle. . . specialized, research-supported, international media consultants and strategic planners whose particular skill it is to search out topics centering on such things as technology change, economic anomalies, social concerns, environmental pressures, and value shifts -- all the strange new devices and patterns that are transforming our everyday lives and the world around us -- and put them into high and useful relief. If you are looking for a single phrase to describe the central thrust of our work, try sustainable development. At 21st Turtle we think about sustainability not as some sort of green abstration or dream but as... "the emerging operational framework for activity organization in the 21st Century". These are no idle words. In fact if you think about it, if you take this as your definition, it turns a lot of things about the concept quite around. Among other things, it carries with it the conclusion that sustainability is not just an option or a nice thing to do, maybe -- but rather that it now becomes a central part of the agenda for virtually all businesses and public institutions. This of course is not a familiar way for looking at all this much-argued, often-buried topic, so our first job must be to define our terrain and make this known to people. To this end 21st Turtle offers a storehouse of ideas, projects, and perspectives on leading-edge sustainability practices and processes which, by dint of their achievements or potential, merit closer examination.We are organized to work hand in hand with business, government and academics in order to help you identify, develop and present the best of your sustainability ideas and actions in ways which will reach the public and the market. And speed your conversion into an efficient, profitable and sustainable organization with a future. We speak of this as… a "Sustainability Agenda". Do you have one? If not, don't you think it may be time to start work on one? 21st Turtle also provides specialized counsel and support to media groups and special event organizers, in order to help prepare programs, publications and events which expose the most exciting of these new concepts and innovative ways of doing things -- in ways that keep the public tuned in and ready for more. All of the projects and activities that are listed here are the result of team work collaboration with our clients, sponsors or associates. An important part of our capability is precisely this: a good disposition to team work and creative interaction, and the communications background and gear to make it work.
