为什么大学在应对全球危机方面仍未充分发挥价值?
大学在通过研究、教育和创新应对全球可持续发展挑战方面至关重要,但其变革潜力仍未得到充分利用。通过相互之间以及与外部利益相关者开展更具战略性的合作,大学可以扩大其贡献,并大规模推出可持续解决方案。要实现可持续性成果,大学必须克服重大障碍,并确立明确的成功条件。
Lindsay is CEO of the Institute for Sustainability Leadership. She has over 20 years’ experience at the forefront of business and sustainability – working with senior leaders from multinational businesses, financial institutions and influential organisations to accelerate progress to a sustainable economy. She built CISL’s portfolio of international education programmes, which now have over 40,000 alumni, developing senior level understanding of the need to transform economic structures and markets. She has led CISL’s contribution to evolving international debates on business leadership and strategic responses to sustainability challenges. She speaks on global trends and the commercial implications for business – most recently on the need to align competitiveness and sustainability ‘Survival of the Fittest, from ESG to Competitive Sustainability’. Other areas of focus include the implications of geopolitics and AI, the imperative to take action on nature and the relationship between business and society: ‘Business, Justice and the New Global Economy’.
Within CISL, she has a track-record of leading significant growth, innovation and impact through building the vision, strategy, structures and capabilities necessary to deliver against organisational purpose. As well as building CISL’s education teams, Lindsay led the Institute’s responses to demand for Board-level engagement and strategic advisory services, as well expansion into new geographies. She has personally led industry engagements across banking, extractives, built environment, retail and manufacturing sectors, as well as with major municipalities and SOEs in China and the Middle East.
