Event overview:
Change Management - how Sustainability can transform an organisation.
Management teams that deliver successful change management programmes are rare and highly valued. Something will have created the need for change – a new disruptive technology, a competitor with a new business model or a failed strategy – and the Board recognises that the continuation of the current strategy could be fatal to the organisation. But, identifying the need for change is just the beginning – you then move to challenges such as engaging key people who are obstructive to change, determining the right level of innovation risk, managing the “old” business whilst building the new etc.
Green Monday on the 7th November will look at “green” change management – programmes that are necessitated by issues such as resource scarcity, the emerging policy framework, or stakeholder pressure, sometimes a combination of all three. It is the sort of programme that has been introduced at Nissan, GE, Siemens, M&S, Philips and Unilever, to great effect. We will hear from a big company that is undergoing a green change management programme, a company that underwent a successful programme during the dot- com disruption, someone who is delivering change from within a FTSE100 and an advisor to companies who are embarking on change.
Confirmed speakers include;
- Richard Tarboton, Director of Energy and Carbon for BT, will talk about how individuals can create the basis for change from within an organisation.
- Doug Johnston, Director of Climate Change and Sustainability at Ernst and Young, will give us insights into how to construct an effective change management programme.
- Kersten Barth, Sustainability Director, Siemens AG. We put Siemens firmly in 5% of the Global 500 that have a “next generation” Sustainability strategy – not only do 33% of total revenue now come from environmental products, but it also has an effective energy efficiency and supply chain strategy. Kersten will tell the story of the transformation of Siemens.
- Jerry Hardcastle, VP for Engineering in Europe & Vehicle Marketability Globally, Nissan. Nissan's electric vehicle story may turn into one of the biggest sustainability strategies of the decade - Jerry will tell us how CEO Carlos Ghosn's decision in 2008 to put EVs at the heard of the Nissan strategy has changed the way Nissan do business.
