Smarter Impact

Lea Patterson and Philip Bateman | Reporting is not a proxy for progress & the ABC of Impact


Listen Later

Who would have thought that the accounting system developed at the beginning of the industrial revolution that sparked climate change, will be the same solution we use to fight climate change? 

Join me to dive into Activity Based Costing with Lea Patterson, President of the Pilbara Group and Chair of the Consortium for Advanced Management - International (CAM-I), where we go into things such as;

How do you manage a climate infrastructure transition in a financially sustainable and profitable way?  What about for King County, WA with 2.3 million people and $16.2BN USD in budget?

How can you use activity-based costing as a powerful lever for change?  And how was Lea done so with Universities, the Royal Australian Navy, the US Navy and BP?

How do you sell a steam engine to a tin mine in the 1700's? 500 years later, how do you sell a manufacturing robot? Would you believe it's the same.

Thanks for joining me for another episode, and do jump onto LinkedIn and circulate the 4 parts of this interview with folks you think may be interested;
