Transition Planning Masterclass #1: Transition planning and your role

Sign up for this event

Climate transition plans are becoming increasingly needed to gain access to capital, ensure business efficiency, comply with market and regulatory asks and support a transition to net zero. However, companies face barriers to developing and implementing plans which align with and support their overall business strategy.

Directors find themselves tasked with establishing how to capitalise on the business opportunities presented by net zero and guiding the transition, moving this from a compliance issue to a commercial imperative.

As part of our Chapter Zero Transition Planning series, we are partnering with the Oliver Wyman Forum to run three interactive masterclasses for FTSE 350 non-executive directors in early 2025.

The first session in our interactive masterclass series will explore transition planning and the role of the non-executive director (NED). We will cover what transition planning is (and isn’t), how the expectations of the NED are developing in relation to climate, and the core concepts related to transition planning, including key frameworks, advanced practices and approaches to reporting.

In this masterclass, we will:

  • Discuss what a transition plan is and why it matters
  • Understand the opportunities, challenges and importance of transition planning in the journey to Net Zero
  • Share perspectives on how the role and expectations of NEDs is evolving with regards to climate, sustainability and transition planning
  • Build insight of transition planning basics and best practices (taking into consideration case studies)
This is the first masterclass in a series of three. To get full value from the experience, we recommend attending the whole series.

About the series

These in-person workshops will go beyond theory, diving into the crux of embedding transition plans into business strategy and helping you navigate some of the more challenging aspects of the transition planning process through a commercial lens.

Facilitated by Oliver Wyman experts, participants will delve into real life scenarios and boardroom dilemmas in practical group discussions, exploring strategies and new perspectives to take back to your boards.

To ensure a place in our exclusive masterclass sessions, please express your interest as soon as possible through the registration links below. To get full value from the experience, we recommend attending the whole series.
