Karien Lotter, Andy Booth and Rob Gerrits participate in this long form and standalone podcast episode where they discuss the launch of the The Landscape Lens: a five-part conversation series exploring how transformative projects can move beyond managing impact to managing change. This looks beyond mitigation to actively engaging with inevitable landscape-level social, economic, governance, cultural and other changes.

This episode explores the key themes from this series and discusses its reception and aspirations for the future.

More on The Landscape Lens:

Large-scale private sector energy and extractive projects don’t simply cause impacts - they reshape landscapes, livelihoods and institutions over generations. Yet our dominant management frameworks remain rooted in risk mitigation and compliance, designed for static contexts and short timelines.

Each paper builds the argument step by step: from reframing the social dimension, to exposing why current methods fall short, to seeing systems and landscapes differently, and finally, to what it takes inside organisations to make this shift real.
