In this LiveCase, learners grapple with a real-world dilemma: whether the global bevco Zing should move forward with a proposed bottling plant expansion in San Isidro, Mexico. While the project shows strong profit potential, it raises pressing questions about water use, environmental impact, and community well-being.
The LiveCase unfolds across multiple episodes, each introducing new challenges, perspectives, and evidence. Learners must navigate the complex trade-offs between economic growth and environmental sustainability, engage with diverse stakeholders, and evaluate water as a critical sustainability issue.
Through immersive role-play and interactive decision-making, participants practice articulating and defending their positions—whether leaning toward business imperatives or sustainability goals. The experience encourages ethical reflection, human judgment, and the ability to navigate disagreement with clarity and respect.
By the end, learners gain insight into how to align business outcomes with social and environmental responsibility while strengthening skills in communication, reasoning, and systems thinking.
