Transition Planning Masterclass #2: Putting it into practice
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 second session in our interactive masterclass series will explore how to put transition planning into practice. We will cover the top tips and what “good” looks like, the typical challenges and pitfalls to watch for, and how to review, assess and challenge transition plans, using real life examples.
We will be joined by guest speaker Ruth Cairnie, Chapter Zero Supporting Chair and Chair of Babcock International Group.
In this masterclass, we will:
- Discuss leading through uncertainty on transition planning
- Build confidence in assessing and strengthening transition plans through practical application
- Explore the legal considerations for NEDs with regards to climate and sustainability
| This is the second 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.
