The world is changing, and businesses must adapt. We'll delve into how embracing ESG principles and tackling climate change head-on isn't just about responsibility—it's a strategic imperative for long-term success. Excited to be speaking at the Executive Leadership Seminar 2024 on a topic close to my heart: ESG and climate change. I'm looking forward to sharing insights and engaging in a lively discussion. Hope to see you there! #ESG #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Leadership #ExecutiveLeadershipSeminar

🌍 Leadership Challenges in Sustainability 🌍 In our recent report, "Holding Back Climate Progress: Sustainability’s Critical Skills Gap," in partnership with Oxford Brookes Business School this comment really resonated with us: “The leadership challenge really is about not shying away from the realities and trying to make the internal organisation and clients face up to them. If you’re in this space, it can be quite tough.” We couldn’t agree more. Sustainability professionals are facing real challenges, not just in terms of technical knowledge, but in having the soft skills needed to lead tough conversations and create real change. It’s hard work—especially when trying to bring entire organisations along on the journey. This report shines a light on these crucial gaps, and we’re excited to keep the conversation going on how we can help bridge them. 💬 Check out the full report in the comments 👇 #ClimateAction #Leadership #Sustainability #SkillsGap #Teamwork

45% of CEOs don’t think their organisations will be viable in 10 years’ time if they continue on their current course. (Up from 39% last year!)

I love a good framework. This one combines a few key questions each from systems thinking, strategic thinking and evaluative thinking, so can be used again, and again, and again. I can see all sorts of applications for it - for Design, Product and Tech leaders to Sustainability Professionals, and those in climate finance. Take a look and tell me - how can you imagine applying this to your own leadership work? This is from the white paper "Navigating System Change Evaluation" https://lnkd.in/dkN2CSUV which was authored by Jessica Davies and Madeline Goldie of Social Finance. Thank you both for your good work! (Thanks also to Marc Harris for his post alerting me to it.) #systemsthinking #leadership #designleadership #climate #sustainability #productleadership #techleadership
