How to match organisational capacity with effective strategic and operational response
Thursday 26 November 2009
Speakers: Fiona Ellis and David Ballard
Event detailsWhat enables one organisation to tackle climate change more effectively than another? How can leaders identify when initiatives are likely to stall and what is needed in order to create progress?
This workshop presents PACT, a research-based framework for strategic
capacity building designed to help organisations respond to pressure
for climate change mitigation and adaptation - as well as other
sustainable development imperatives - and identify strategic pathways
for effective response.
Fiona Ellis has been a director and managing consultant of Bath
Consultancy Group over the past ten years. Her work includes leadership
and HR development, culture change and whole-system transformation. She
has worked internationally for clients in the oil industry, television,
telecoms and financial services as well as government and health sector
organisations in the UK. Fiona leads the consultancy's HiTech service
group as well as its emerging practice for building change capacity in
a low carbon world.
David Ballard is a director of Alexander Ballard Ltd, which he
co-founded in response to demands for a consultancy with expertise in
business strategy, the environment, sustainable development,
communications, organisational change and social transformation. David
led the development of PACT, which is currently being used as a core
element of the UK's first Climate Change Risk Assessment and Adaptation
Economic Analysis. He has a strong background in business strategy and
a prolonged experience of working in the sustainability field for
organisations in commercial and governmental sectors. His deep
understanding of change at the organisational, personal and social
level gives him a unique command of the issues inherent in developing
sharp, creative and commercially viable responses to climate change and
other related sustainability issues.
Who should attend?
The talks will appeal to anyone with a leadership role in
organisations, as well as those who are involved in HR, leadership and
organisation development, or the Corporate Social Responsibility field.
They will also be relevant to academics and to others who are
interested in the broader sustainability agenda
