The Challenge
Our client is a leader in its field, operating in an industrial segment where Sustainability issues are vital to the success of its business.
The client had identified a potential need to make a leadership change, however wanted to understand more about the Sustainability leadership talent pool before potentially adapting its structure.
Moving from a strategy phase into a wide-ranging implementation, the client wanted to understand the characteristics of the Sustainability talent pool, to uncover the availability of Sustainability transformation ‘implementation leaders’.
Before potentially approaching this talent pool, the client also wanted to understand which organisations are considered Sustainability leaders by experts, what are the key issues facing Sustainability teams and what innovative sustainability programmes are other leading organisations implementing to address key sustainability goals.
To optimize talent attraction, the client also wanted to understand career route paths, career motivation factors, employer brand perceptions and what organisation attributes Sustainability executive leaders seek from potential employers.
The Solution
Parkhouse Bell undertook talent mapping research to identify leading global Sustainability executive leaders, as well key industry experts.
Building a tiered analysis of the leading executives, Parkhouse Bell was then able to develop talent insights to uncover key attributes of this cohort, to understand the career paths of top talent, attrition rates and levels of diversity, including an understanding of whether diversity is increasing or decreasing within the global Sustainability executive leadership cohort.
Parkhouse Bell engaged this cohort of leading global Sustainability executive leaders, to uncover career motivating factors, employers of choice, innovative Sustainability programmes and future challenges.
We provided a detailed insight report of data, statistics, analysis and commentary to give the client a full understanding of:
– which organisations contain the best sustainability talent
– why they and their executives are considered ‘leading’
– the short, medium and long term challenges
– the career paths of top sustainability talent
– what motivates and attracts top sustainability talent
– how diverse the Sustainability executive leadership pool is
– how the diversity of the talent pool is changing
In addition, Parkhouse Bell provided the client with profiles of the top Sustainability executive leadership talent, so it could move from research into the candidate approach.
