Peer Cluster Program® |
|
ACCO’s Peer
Cluster Program® is a newly launched peer
review and business improvement forum
developed for members to advance their
organization’s climate response strategies
and further develop their own leadership
skills. A Peer Cluster group consists of
eight to twelve members from across sectors
who collaborate on a monthly basis and meet
in person once per year (in conjunction with
an ACCO conference) for peer review and
facilitated discussion of industry issues,
best practices, opportunities, and capacity
building strategies. The program enables
climate officers to rise above day-to-day
operational issues and reap the benefits of
other members’ experience, insight, and
knowledge. By providing a neutral and safe
forum for consulting with peers a deep level
of trust can be developed, thus creating an
environment that is not replicated at
traditional industry events or in large
groups with competitors. Members are
carefully screened and assigned according to
size and scope of employer operations,
stated interests and other criteria. |
|
Research, Data Synthesis & Publications |
|
ACCO members and staff
conduct research projects, synthesize
findings and produce publications that
provide opportunities for members to learn
from and shape best practices on a broad
range of climate-related strategies and
issues. These research reports,
benchmark studies and white papers provide
prospective authors and underwriters the
opportunity to be recognized as thought
leaders related to service offerings or
targeted subject matter. |
|
Conferences, Workshops & Webinars |
|
ACCO’s Climate Change
Leadership Series (CCLS) brings together
thought leaders in industry, government,
academia and the NGO community to share
their experience and expertise on a wide
range of issues related to climate change.
The series features executive education
courses, workshops and conferences designed
to advance the knowledge and skills of those
dedicated to developing and directing
climate change strategies in the public and
private sectors. |
