A Mandate for Change
Our political leaders are not the only ones who’ve been handed a mandate for change. Business leaders everywhere have a unique opportunity to transform the way the world works. Our new "Mandate for Change" report reveals that the only tenable way forward is to reform work practices. Find out more...
Corporate is being increasingly taxed by a series of wake-up calls – uncertain energy supplies, global climate change, and an all-consuming economic crisis to name but a few.
When confronted with such challenges, history dictates that leaders must innovate, and to do so, they must be willing to think and perceive in new ways, and break out of stodgy old patterns. Our Mandate for Change report debates the role of our workplaces, and considers this unique opportunity to overcome corporate inertia and dismantle barriers to transforming work.
Among the report’s findings are that:
* Changing work practices delivers an 8-fold gain compared to investing in smart building design or green IT initiatives,
* Organisations must decrease power use by 30-35 per cent over the next five years or face the prospect of enforced power outages,
* Changing society attitudes - 77 per cent would be willing to make significant lifestyle adjustment to prevent climate change. 86 per cent would not work for an organisation that does not have a socially just policy.
Transformation has never been easy, but in this environment, it’s going to be more possible than usual.
