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 am – 12:30 pm
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.
