In a new video from Imperial Lifelong Learning, Dr. Frank Brueck and Professor Maurizio Zollo explore the practical steps leaders can take to align their sustainability strategy with organizational purpose.
Dr. Brueck, Head of the Leadership Lab at the Leonardo Centre on Business for Society, and Professor Zollo, Professor of Strategy & Sustainability at Imperial College Business School and Scientific Director of the Leonardo Centre, emphasize that effective execution requires a holistic approach. They address systems thinking, organizational culture, structural change, stakeholder engagement, and governance mechanisms.
The discussion is part of the five-day on-campus programme "Executing Sustainability Strategies," designed to help leaders refine, validate, and implement sustainability strategies that create meaningful impact. The course draws on expertise from Imperial’s sustainability centres and world-leading faculty, offering dedicated coaching, peer collaboration, and frameworks for overcoming cultural, political, and operational barriers.
Targeted at sustainability champions, senior leaders, innovators, and anyone responsible for organization-wide sustainability initiatives, the programme equips participants with tools to turn ambitious sustainability goals into actionable, integrated strategies.
