From Strategy to Delivery: the Innovation Gap in Sustainability Teams
Most sustainability teams are being asked to do more than ever: Scope 3, supplier engagement, assurance, reporting, governance, Net Zero planning, tenders, and internal change. The problem is not ambition. It is capacity and specialist delivery. One person or a small team cannot cover ten disciplines at once, and the result is predictable: lots gets started, little gets finished, and progress is hard to prove.
This session explores a practical innovation that helps organisations move from plans to measurable outcomes without immediately building a large permanent function. It shows how to create a flexible layer of specialist support around an existing team to accelerate delivery, strengthen supply chain transparency, and improve the quality of evidence behind Scope 3 and Net Zero commitments. Expect a clear framework, real examples of where delivery stalls, and a simple way to evaluate what to keep in house, what to outsource, and what to plug in temporarily so momentum does not die.
