Innovation Partnerships + Knowledge Exchange

The opportunity: re-thinking old problems to create new opportunities in our experience, requires new approaches to collaboration, co-creation and applied research between academia, business, government and society - something that organisations with rigid boundaries and structures can find hard to do.

Our experience: we have a proven track record at building knowledge, leveraging our relationships, catalysing change and helping to commercialise innovation.

What we do: we are not afraid to challenge the norms and actively invest in relationships to promote insights, knowledge sharing and solutions delivery — in short to help leaders re-invent growth.

Building Sense Now

Founding member of Building Sense Now, an action focused group comprising leaders from the Germany and Spanish Green Building Councils, the IFC and practitioners from around the world aimed at accelerating a shift towards climate resilient and sustainable building design.

As the world continues to urbanise, as shifts in climate and extreme weather events become more 'normal' and as we learn more about the complexity of the challenges that lie ahead; designers and problem solvers have a growing role to play in coming up with the solutions that will make a difference and help re-invent zero carbon growth in a changing world.

For me it is about leadership and the ability to operate beyond our traditional professional and sectoral boundaries - this is why I am committed to Building Sense Now global initiative
