Beyond the Course: How to build a future-ready workforce that delivers on change
Beyond the Course: How to build a future-ready workforce that delivers on change
June 23 @ 11:00 π.μ. - 12:30 μ.μ.
The organisations making real progress on their climate targets aren’t just better at training their people. They are better at creating the conditions for success, enabling learning that translates into action.
Most corporate sustainability programmes skip straight to the course, neglecting to design for what will make the training actually stick.
In this session, Kite Insights and Climate KIC will show you what the organisations getting this right are doing differently: a more complete approach to workforce engagement that addresses what happens before and after the training intervention that determines whether learning lands or evaporates.
We will cover:
- Kite Insight’s four-stage engagement framework — Measure, Engage, Educate, Sustain
- Examples in practice: drawing from Climate KIC’s work supporting leaders develop skills for uncertainty, including navigating towards shared goals, building cultures of experimentation, and creating the conditions for innovation to take root inside large, complex organisations.
You’ll leave with:
- A clear-eyed view of where your engagement strategy is breaking down and at least one concrete fix you can act on immediately.
- A better understanding of how to transform organisational complexity from a blocker into a source of innovation and business opportunity.
If your organisation is serious about turning ambition into action, this is where to start.
Who is the session for:
This session is for sustainability practitioners working in large companies who are responsible for sustainability training initiatives and ESG/NetZero strategy design. The session will also be relevant to other functions that engage with or run effective sustainability training programmes, including L&D and HR, the Greater London Authority and the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
This session is hosted by The Collaborative for Systemic Climate Action and presented by Kite Insights and Climate KIC. It is part of the Green Skills Festival, a London Climate Action Week-affiliated initiative. Read more about the Festival below.
About the organisers
Το Collaborative for Systemic Climate Action is a unique alliance of 27 globally active implementing partners and trusted funding partners resourcing the bold systemic action this moment demands. We have made an intentional commitment to overcome the fragmentation and competition that all too often undermine climate action by working together, pooling resources and reimagining how solutions are designed, financed and delivered. Kite Insights and Climate KIC are members of the Collaborative.
The largest innovation agency in Europe, Κλίμα KIC bridges the private and public sector green skills gap by combining technical expertise (e.g. renewable energy, carbon accounting) with transversal leadership skills (e.g., systems thinking, collaboration). The Academy is Climate KIC’s flagship learning program for the public and private sector.
Kite Insights empowers organizations to articulate their stance, activate teams from ground-up, and foster meaningful, sustained climate action. Blending strategic research and thought leadership, their methodology leverages AI and focuses on understanding, motivation, and capabilities across roles and sectors.
About the Green Skills Festival
As part of London Climate Action Week 2026, Climate KIC and Kite Insights, with The Collaborative for Systemic Climate Action and invited partners, are convening the Green Skills Festival. A full day of conversations, workshops and interactive sessions exploring the capabilities, leadership, collaboration and innovation needed to accelerate systems transformation.
Rooted in these partners’ collective belief that climate action requires radical collaboration across sectors, disciplines and communities, the festival brings together practitioners, educators, innovators, community leaders and systems thinkers to share ideas, challenge assumptions and explore practical pathways for change.
Throughout the day, participants will have the opportunity to engage with a diverse programme of sessions, connect with peers, and discover new approaches to navigating the complexity of climate transformation.
