A well-defined programme and change management approach is vital for planning and delivering sustainable change, achieving your outcomes, and engaging your team and wider stakeholders on the journey

Effective programme and change management can create the engine room for your ESG strategy and your outcomes from it. You need the right foundations in place, including structure and oversight, intelligent and agile planning, and stress testing. A holistic approach can ensure your organisation is factoring in all the requirements and changes that will be needed across your operating model to successfully deliver ESG initiatives from inception through to completion.

Questions to ask yourself:

  • Your ESG agenda is complex and multi-faceted, how can you apply strong programme and change management capabilities to ensure you are effectively implementing your strategy? 
  • What approach will you take to overseeing and ensuring you are getting value from your external advisors that they are delivering against your requirements?  
  • How well do you deliver change or transformation currently?
  • Are you and your people clear on your ESG vision and strategy, as to how this connects to your plans, and what is required of you in delivering against this? Both at an organisational and individual level
  • How joined up is your leadership team on what it is you need to achieve now and what you will need to do differently in the future? How aligned are you on what the priorities are?
