Transition Planning Masterclass #3: Beyond the boardroom

Sign up for this event

Please note the main session will run from 2:00pm to 6:00pm, with the option to attend networking drinks from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

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 third session in our interactive masterclass series will explore moving transition planning forward from the boardroom. We will cover the experience and lessons learned when building alignment around transition plans, the skills required to confidently communicate to key stakeholders on transition planning, and what the implications are beyond climate, integrating nature, social, and other related topics that non-executive directors (NEDs) are expected to have a point of view on.

We will be joined by guest speaker Mark Tucker, Chapter Zero Supporting Chair and Chair of HSBC.

In this masterclass, we will:

  • Learn how to create broad and deep alignment behind transition plans in an organization
  • Explore the power of partnership and collaboration with diverse stakeholders beyond your organization or industry
  • Prepare to confidently communicate externally on transition planning and related topics
  • Drive commitment to tangible action
This is the third 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.
