Conference Agenda

From e-business to g-business

The inherent changes and disrupters present in the current green business revolution share interesting similarities with the e-business revolution of the 1990s. The process of implementing a sustainable or green business strategy is a new challenge from business as usual and can involve fresh combinations of technologies and stakeholders working together to form new networks. Some of the challenges and opportunities business faces with climate change are akin to those challenges posed by the internet revolution of the 20 century.

  • Lessons from the ‘3rd economic revolution’ for the ‘4th revolution’: similarities and differences
  • Crossing the ‘Chasm’
  • Why business as usual patterns will not deliver a low carbon economy
  • Innovation through collaboration
  • How new partnerships can be identified and built to support such collaboration
