Innovation is the key factor for growth and competitiveness. A recent survey conducted by PwC revealed that innovation is becoming increasingly recognised by executives as integral to sustaining the long-term future of their business. Within five years, the majority of business executives (51%) believe innovation will be a ‘competitive necessity’ for their organisation. Moreover, recent work by the BSDC put the size-of-the-prize for new sustainable business models at a staggering $12trn.

So, what are the key steps that should be put in place to ensure sustainable innovation can grow from concept to reality? Who should you involve with identifying innovative solutions and growing new sustainability ideas? Where and how should you conduct your innovation process?

Discussion points

This skills-focused session will seek to answer the above questions, and also explore:

  • Key challenges that must be overcome in order to drive sustainable innovation
  • How to create the conditions for sustainable innovation

The ‘How to drive innovation for sustainability’ masterclass will be free to watch live at 11am on Thursday 10 August, and will be made available to watch on-demand afterwards.
