climate Execution Prioritization and Execution Plan for a Canadian City – case study

• Align the working team and Board of Directors around a single vision for “what the organization wants to be when it grows up”​
• Prioritize the delivery of climate initiatives based on effort and potential emission reduction​
• Identify net-new revenue and funding streams for organization, specifically for its clean infrastructure projects.​
• Develop a clear winning strategy that the team can collectively work towards, with actionable initiatives that connect each team member to a broader purpose

This challenge was complex because:​

The team was operating at capacity, and needed to find new ways to prioritize the most impactful work on an ongoing basis​

The city’s emissions goals were rapidly approaching, and the organization needed to show progress in its emissions reduction to show continued viability to the City​

Changes to the group’s operating model were creating requirements for additional sources of sustainable and climate-focused revenue​​​
