Collaboration in the boardroom and beyond

More than 20 years after ‘The Wisdom of Crowds’ entered the business lexicon, its core insight is more relevant than ever: organisations make better long term decisions when they draw on collective expertise rather than relying on a narrow set of voices. Chapter Zero Fellow, Oonagh Harpur, says there is wisdom to be found on the front line so listen to it.

Chapter Zero co-founder and board member, Susan Hooper (and company board non-executive director and Chair), participated in a Winmark panel where she emphasised the importance of policy, leadership and collaboration in driving companies’ sustainability initiatives.

The Climate Change Committee (CCC) convened an expert advisory group to provide input from their respective fields around the different ways in which UK businesses can accelerate progress towards Net Zero, the barriers holding this back, and the opportunities that can be unlocked if business and Government take decisive action.
