Join us for a Directors’ Deep Dive into the opportunities and challenges of adopting green transition practices and technologies
The green transition is rapidly becoming a critical driver of innovation and investment decisions for organisations. A recent survey found that 92% of executives believe the green transition is crucial for success, and 65% of companies have already integrated green transition strategies into their strategic planning (OECD, 2024). The academic literature highlights numerous examples of successful green transition innovations, but implementing these solutions can be challenging due to various barriers, including financial constraints and resistance to change.
In this session, hosted by branch sponsor UC Business School, Dr Jeandri Robertson will explore how the green transition is shaping the future of innovation and investment, discussing the opportunities and challenges that organisations face in adopting green transition practices and technologies.
Directors' Deep Dive events are smaller interactive discussion-style sessions where you will be encouraged to ask questions and actively contribute your perspectives.
Dr Jeandri Robertson is a Senior Lecturer in Industrial Marketing at Luleå University of Technology, Sweden, and an Associate Professor in Marketing at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. She is an industrial marketing researcher specialising in innovation-led strategic business decision-making, focusing on sustainability.
Currently, she is working on several projects related to the digitalisation of SMEs within the green transition, responsible green investment, health and well-being in a smart city context, and the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on the sustainability of organisations.
