We devote our June Green Monday to looking at O2’s strategy with its CEO, Ronan Dunne, in what promises to be one of the highlights of our 2012 programme.
It’s a great opportunity to hear a CEO talk about what sustainability means to his business model, and having recently launched its Think Big programme there is a coherent strategy to debate. The format will be similar to our January Green Monday, when we had an evening with Ian Cheshire, CEO of Kingfisher. Many feel that was the best of our 70+ events - no pressure, Ronan.
Here’s how we will explore, debate and, hopefully offer collective wisdom on O2’s strategy through the June event.
*Green Monday will lay out and analyse O2’s strategy, based on interviews with key stakeholders, which we will share with delegates in advance.
*Ronan will open with a 10-minute speech on why sustainability is important to O2, and why it is innovating with its business model.
*Jim will interview Ronan for 15 minutes, focusing in on some challenging lines of questioning to give Ronan an opportunity to demonstrate the depth of his understanding.
*Ronan will play the Good / Bad Game – great entertainment, but with the intention of identifying his values as a leader.
*We will have at least 30 mins Q&A with the audience, Twitter (#gmO2) and those watching live online.
In the 14 roundtables afterwards we will be focusing on key areas of the O2 strategy, with O2 having provided some of the question as a crowdsourcing exercise.
We may be watching the emergence of new leader in Sustainability, joining the ranks of Ian Cheshire, Paul Polman, and Sir Stuart Rose. We expect a senior audience – many of the O2 board will be in attendance, and we will have many senior business strategists from well known brands.
