In partnership with Cognizant and Google Cloud, we are delighted to be launching a series of interviews which explore the burning questions and tackle the undeniable challenges of our age. In the first in the series, we explore what effective leadership looks like in the age of sustainable growth. 

Technology leaders have been instrumental change-makers in recent years. They’ve been at the forefront of breaking down outdated silos. Skilful leaders have operated as technology translators and business advocates to drive digital transformation throughout their organisation, and demonstrate the return on investment.

But now technology leaders are facing an additional pressing imperative. Against the backdrop of record temperatures in the UK and world-wide geopolitical uncertainty, the argument for action on the climate crisis is now economic as well as moral. Technology leaders need to be on the front foot of a shift in thinking about growth and green initiatives, and will be indispensable in driving forward the agenda on how to use tech tools for sustainable development.

This will be no mean feat, and to achieve results, technology leaders will need to leverage their relationships with CEO and boards, their teams and their peers more than ever.

The series of interviews brings together forward-thinking technology leaders to discuss and debate what leadership looks like in the age of sustainable growth.
