The Executing Sustainability Strategies programme accelerated participants' capacity to validate, refine, and upgrade their sustainable strategy, and drove its successful implementation. It was designed for leaders who wanted to develop their ability to deliver an existing or preliminary business sustainability strategy to make change happen. Through a blended approach of on-campus, self-paced learning, mentoring, and next-generation meditation techniques, participants developed a sustainable mindset, built the insights, tools, and leadership capabilities to:
-Refine and upgrade their existing sustainability strategy and build the sustainability leadership skills to articulate the business case for change.
-Identify and navigate the cultural and political challenges to systemic change within their organisation.
-Enact procedures and control mechanisms and engage the right internal and external stakeholders to execute their sustainability strategy.
-Champion systemic change and play a critical role in building the capabilities and the resilience to shift their organisation’s culture.
-Create an action plan to execute their sustainability strategy (including stakeholder consultation, internal validation and approval, execution).
-Create a leadership action plan to lead systemic change.
-Lead the execution of their sustainability strategy and support their organisation in the transition phase towards more sustainable business.
