In the highly anticipated Episode 1 of Season 2 of Conversations on Climate, Christopher Caldwell, CEO, Entrepreneur, and host of the show, sits down with François Ortalo-Magné. Together, they discuss the latest insights and trends in business sustainability, how companies can thrive in a world increasingly concerned about the environment, and, of course the future of London Business School.
There's only one person to talk to about the future of LBS: the Dean himself. Since the appointment of François Ortalo-Magné in 2017, he has guided the school through the pandemic, Black Lives Matter, and the explosion of ESG across the business world.
Today he is fully focused on driving LBS into the future with the Forever Forward campaign, raising £200m to transform the school into a 21st-century powerhouse of research, innovation, diversity, and world-beating education.
This conversation turns into a one-hour masterclass in leadership, impact, and the art of balancing tradition with transformation. It's a must-listen for any business leader.
How can the school maximise this positive impact - and just what is 'impact squared'?
What roles do its research, teaching programmes, and alumni play in shaping the landscape of tomorrow?
And how should this august institution hold true to its traditions of academic freedom, rigour, and excellence, whilst adapting to a rapidly-changing world?
'... I tell our students, don't come if you're not curious and open to be inspired to a different perspective on yourself in the world...'
'...the message of the moment is: ask yourself as you go on with the rest of your life, whom do you serve?'
