Participants will split into four groups in the afternoon according to their choice of track. See below for details of TRACKS A, B, C, and D for your selection.
TRACK A: Exec Labs (Challenge of Ideation) – We’ve asked a few local executives for their real business pain points, related to Sustainable Development Goals. Can you help them crack the problem? In diversely mixed participant teams, you will get to ask them questions, quickly ideate CSV solutions, then pitch for feedback to see what might be feasible next steps.
Local executives:

TRACK B: Meta-competencies – Develop meta-competencies to navigate constant change (Challenge of Leadership) – How can sustainable change leaders drive purpose and achieve their goals in an uncertain, ever-changing environment? Join us for an interactive session where participants will uncover the power of meta-competencies – the overarching soft skills that enable adaptability, engagement, and creativity, as well as improve the ability to act.
During this session, you will work in teams on mini-challenges to creatively approach SDG objectives, while leveraging a set of enabling skills and human factors. By the end of the session, participants will take home a deck of cues with handy tips, which will equip them for effective stakeholder engagement and collaboration.
