Transition Leaders Programme
As businesses face the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequalities, leaders must adapt to a new era where sustainability is central. Delivered in partnership with KPMG, this three-part workshop series provide insights into setting strategic ambitions, overcoming barriers, and leading transformative change.
Tailored Executives with sustainability in their portfolios, the series explore key topics such as adaptive strategy, future-proofing business models, and purpose-led leadership.
By the end of the series, participants will gain greater clarity on driving sustainable transformation within their organisations. This is an opportunity to engage with peers, tackle challenges, and develop actionable strategies for long-term impact.

Sustainability Leadership Programme
The Sustainability Leadership Programme (SLP) will give you the connections, skills and confidence to make a measurable impact. You will grow as a leader and learn tactics to increase your influence beyond your current role and organisation.
Tailored to the New Zealand market, this leadership course gives you the chance to apply your learning to a real-life sustainability challenge your business is facing. A hands-on, intensive and enjoyable experience, you’ll also gain a network of other sustainability peers to lean on for advice and expertise.
SLP is a leadership programme. It is not about learning technical skills (e.g. measuring carbon emissions) for addressing sustainability.
Learn more about the programme and upcoming intakes here.
“Of all the leadership type courses I’ve completed, this one provided the most practical skills-based tools to take back into the business.”
