To Madrid For Acciona

Tom and Louise at either end
The point is …
Here’s looking at you
Feedback session
Ditto
Ditto again
Zeroing in
Some of the team, as we wound down

To Madrid to work with Acciona yesterday, with Louise (Kjellerup Roper) and Tom (Farrand). Acciona are a global leader in sustainable infrastructures and renewable energy.

The event drew together fast track leaders from across the company and across the world, to consider how the company can switch on to exponential sustainability in the coming years.

Great group – and, for me, an urgently needed injection of optimism as the UK moves inexorably towards a hard-fought (if idiotic) Brexit.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
