For leaders, it’s imperative to find a way to integrate their organization’s mission, sustainability and social impact strategies in a unified way. By doing so, leaders responsible for what has traditionally been divided into “environmental,” “social” and “governance” (ESG) will be able to speak the same language and execute unified goals. Recent research on ESG from Project Management Institute reveals that two-thirds of surveyed executives worldwide believe that COVID-19 acted as a catalyst for increased action on ESG initiatives, but 70% don’t know where to get started. This discussion will focus on how to unify teams to identify the “how” and co-create an executable path forward, resetting expectations to identify gaps and opportunities to achieve strategic clarity, and defining collaborative frameworks and priorities with clear performance metrics.
