Sustainability is hard work that takes patience and perseverance. One important aspect to implementing change is to ensure your stakeholders understand the “what” or they will never go along with the “why” or “how.” It is a journey and you have to bring them along with you. #sustainability #transitions #leadershipmatters

The construction sector makes a critical contribution to the UK economy, but it also has a considerable environmental impact. To meet its net zero and growth ambitions, the sector must adopt circular strategies, with a focus on three areas: · Design with circularity in mind · Increase building lifecycles through retrofitting · Recycle and reuse materials Read more in PwC UK Circular Construction report: https://bit.ly/43Wz21Z #Circularity #NetZeroTransformation #Construction #CircularEconomy Nick Atkin Paul Sloman Chris Temple Tony Cowpe-Pendleton MCMI ChMC James Bailey Sam Edwards Toby Smith

🌍 Accelerating Change Towards Net Zero Business Transformation 🌍 I’m excited to share a new report published by the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) titled "Net Zero Business Transformation - A framework for accelerating change in an era of turbulence and complexity". This report is a comprehensive guide to help companies achieve their net zero goals by taking a whole system approach to net zero transformation1. It includes knowledge contributions and support from over 30 companies and aims to help sustainability practitioners engage their C-Suite on systems change. The report highlights the urgent need for businesses to address not just their own emissions, but also to work with the social, economic, and natural systems around them1. It calls for businesses to actively engage stakeholders including markets, the business community, policymakers, and investors in the transformation. The report also presents CISL’s Net Zero Transformation Framework and its five essential steps to accelerate change at the scale required1. It’s a call to action for companies to engage in a set of pre-competitive development areas. Let’s join hands in this transformative journey towards a sustainable future.

The recent WEF Special Meeting in Riyadh was a truly global event, with delegates from across the world convening to address critical issues. This diverse perspective fueled stimulating discussions and highlighted some key takeaways:   Energy Transition & Equitable Access: The urgency of a clean energy transition worldwide was undeniable. A key highlight was the emphasis on a global and equitable energy transition, stressed by the need to leave no one behind, especially developing economies, through a universal approach that tackles climate change as a global issue, not a regional one. The need for accelerating renewable energy adoption was another central point - focusing on proper financing mechanisms to make the transition financially viable for businesses.   AI for Growth and Social Impact: Discussions around the potential of Artificial Intelligence, particularly generative AI, were particularly insightful.  Navigating its effective use requires focusing on its strengths, ensuring inclusivity and non-bias, fostering public-private partnerships, and promoting responsible integration.   A Region Poised for Growth: Our global disruption survey highlighted Saudi Arabia's positions in optimism, adaptability to disruption, and strategic investments in digital technologies. No surprise then that Riyadh provided an ideal backdrop for hosting this WEF special meeting. The Kingdom's commitment to global collaboration, growth, and energy development is a testament to this.   At AlixPartners, we're committed to supporting businesses in the Middle East to navigate these transformative trends. We believe embracing innovation, responsible AI implementation, and focus on sustainable growth are key to unlocking the region's full potential.   #WEF #WorldEconomicForum #SpecialMeeting24 #SaudiArabia #Riyadh #AlixPartners

From attending #SWAN’s workshop on “New Ripples in Digital Water Transformation” at #SIWW, it is clear that digital transformation materializes very differently in developing countries compared to developed ones, with insights from #Maynilad Water Services (PhilHydro). - Offering simple and #costeffective solutions is key. Advanced and expensive solutions are too risky for utilities in developing countries—and often not needed. Fit-for-purpose solutions, such as a data logger to detect pressure and identify leaks, are sufficient. - Facilitating #jobretention is a must. Labor is not in shortage in developing countries (in contrast to the aging workforce in developed countries). While digital solutions should help improve efficiency and reduce manual labor, they should not be used as a tool to replace jobs. - Improving #customerservice and brand image is a key driver. For example, leveraging real-time data to alert customers in advance of any service interruptions or issues can significantly enhance customer satisfaction and the utility's reputation. - #Engaging staff is key to success. This applies to both developing and developed countries. Getting buy-in from the staff on new software solutions, building trust, and convincing them of the benefits will make them less resistant to change. With that in mind, I am wondering how #digital solution providers can better adapt their offerings to developing countries. #Rolandberger #unlockwaterpotential
