In May 2010, I was invited to attend the Bay Area Council's Annual Outlook Conference, held in Silicon Valley. With a number of impressive thought-leaders as speakers, including our Governor; experts in National economic trends; Global clean tech initiatives; and Bay Area business development, it appeared to be a good 1-day investment.
The North Point is about:
— leading environmental strategy for the enterprise
— driving our low carbon global economy
— creating renewable energy sector companies and jobs
I’m proud to announce the establishment of Six Degree West – and alliance with Six Degree People UK – which I believe to be the top executive search firm specializing in sustainable business and talent development.
Since 1997 when they completed their first board-level sustainability leadership assignment – Six Degree People UK dedicated their good work to environmental and organizational sustainability in Europe long before we “got it” in the U.S. They have built a compelling global network of expert practitioners and recognized thought leaders, and are now engaged in some of the most strategically significant searches for many of the world’s largest and businesses and organizations.
After several conversations in which we realized we shared a vision for excellence in environmental executive search, we are merging The North Point’s environmental strategy practice with SDP, and I am now leading Six Degree West’s North America operations.
SDP clients know they must fully integrate talent development and sustainability into their strategy and operations. This is to gain emerging market advantages while managing potential liabilities.
We work with companies to unlock existing – and identify new -- talent required to realign their business model with the new energy economy. We focus on identifying current and emerging commercially experienced leaders who have already delivered success in low carbon innovation. These are leaders who use their skills to shape organizations in sync with stakeholders who demand far more transparency and authenticity than ever before.
By uniquely building relationships on both the demand and supply side we ensure a 360° view of the market which is invaluable whether your organization seeks a key leadership appointment, to identify acquisitions or to truly understand what business-critical, low carbon services your potential client base will be procuring in the next financial year and beyond.
Thus, sustainability is no longer simply an environmental issue. It now impacts every aspect of our fundamental organizations -- economic, social and cultural.
Six Degree West, along with SDP UK, offers three core services:
Executive Search
Acquisition Identification & Brokerage
Business Intelligence Reporting
Here are some of our on-going initiatives:
Bay Area Council
- Business-friendly, job creation, initiatives for the Bay Area and California
- Climate Change and Renewable Energy Committee – Renewable Energy legislation
- World Expo Silicon Valley 2020
Sustainability Consortium
- Global Consortium of Multinational Environmental Strategy Leaders
