One of our most popular leadership workshop formats is the interactive En-ROADS climate action simulation led by Alice Schmidt, an MIT-certified climate ambassador. Participants co-create a global solution to the climate crisis and gain unique insights into how stakeholder preferences impact climate action and sustainable transformation, before delving into implications for organisational strategy development.
