Building organisational resilience for the future

Foreseeable is a specialist consultancy established to bring forward action on climate change. This is my way of using my experience and knowledge to help shape a better future for the next generation and the six after that.

Many organisations delay action on climate change on the basis that the impacts are unforeseeable or that it is really hard to know what the future might hold. My view is that if you put in the work to understand your relationship with the climate, and the aspects of our economy that contribute to climate change, the impacts start to become foreseeable.

I don’t look at climate change in isolation. I take a holistic view that ensures the organisations I work with are also creating positive social and environmental impacts as part of their response to climate change.

I am happy to work at both an organisational and system level to create the small (and not so small) shifts needed to realign our activities to be climate ready.

My ethos

 

Build capability

 

I firmly believe the best people to manage your climate risks and opportunities are within your organisation. As I work alongside organisations I am mindful of sharing knowledge and developing skills that will leave you better placed to tackle the challenge. I am happy to play a role as a coach, mentor or trainer to ensure your team is building its capability.

 

Encourage collaboration

 

Addressing climate change requires everyone to play their part and to look for collaboration opportunities. During client engagements I consider who the players are that can help you move faster or more effectively. Conversely I will also challenge you to think about who you could work alongside to create greater impact.

 

Systems approach

 

Climate change is an economic, social and environmental challenge. By thinking about the various interconnections between these domains I can help you avoid creating unintended consequences and also maximise the impact of your actions.

Karl Check, Director

I founded Foreseeable as a way of adding my own experience and skillset to helping address the climate change crises. Through over ten years working within large businesses I have had practical experience in assessing the physical and transitional impacts of climate change in a business context. I recognise there are a number of organisations that feel daunted by the task of trying to understand what impact climate change may have and how to approach it. I firmly believe organisations already have the ability to adapt and only need the knowledge and the tools to empower them.

Let’s have a call. I’d love to hear your experience.
