This Tomorrow’s Company report seeks to understand the link between innovation and the effective management of risk. The price of poor governance has been increasingly evident through the credit crunch and recession. The report in particular considers the relationship between innovation and difference or 'diversity' on the board;  the effectiveness and role of non-executive directors, and the impact of the criteria of independence; the relationship between innovation and risk; and the impact of quality of leadership - 'the tone from the top'. 

These slides are from one of our events looking at the prospect for 'green jobs' in America – they include a progress report after the first months of the Obama Administration, a discussion of the recently announced stimulus package, and an exploration into whether building the green economy has to be put off until the recession is over, or if it is the surest route to a sustainable recovery.   Bill Becker was the lead author of the Presidential Climate Action Plan (PCAP), which was presented to the Obama transition team. This two years/$2 million research programme involved many of America's leading policy and climate science experts, and offers 180 policy recommendations across 18 critical topic areas.  www.climateactionproject.com/plan
