Climate Change Design Thinking Complimentary Workshop

Save the Date

18 November 2025 5:00pm

Save the date for our upcoming complimentary workshop designed exclusively for the IoD Chartered Directors Network, as part of the Creative Boardroom: Collaborate4Climate initiative. 

This practical and engaging session will demonstrate how design thinking can foster collective problem-solving and enhance awareness of both climate challenges and opportunities for leadership impact. It will also offer Chartered Director members a unique opportunity to explore how boards can collectively “raise the temperature” in the boardroom to meaningfully address climate challenges.

The workshop will be led by: 

  • Laura Magahy, Public Sector Consulting Lead, Forvis Mazars and Chair of Creative Boardroom: Collaborate4Climate
  • Lara Hanlon, Lecturer in Design Thinking at IADT, design strategist, sustainability advocate
  • Lucy McKenna, Learning Specialist, facilitator and coach, and co-founder of The Brave Lab;
  • Louise Allen, Director of Creative Futures Academy, with extensive leadership experience in the creative and cultural sector both nationally and internationally.

What will the Workshop Cover?

Over a focused 2.5-hour session, participants will be guided through a design-led methodology to:

  • Set a vision for the impact you wish to achieve at board level
  • Define and frame key climate challenges
  • Iterate through possible solutions
  • Identify tangible actions to implement on your board

Creative Boardroom: Collaborate4Climate

Taking an intergenerational approach, the Creative Boardroom: Collaborate4Climate project aimed to generate dynamic and creative solutions that can address complex climate challenges. Phase 1 of this pioneering all-island collaboration brought together the Institute of Directors Ireland, the Institute of Directors Northern Ireland and Creative Futures Academy in 2024, with the shared ambition to create actionable solutions for our planet. In Phase 2 of this project Creative Boardroom: Collaborate4Climate have taken these learnings on tour, as part of this powerful exhibition in 2025, with new partner Forvis Mazars and supported through The Shared Island Fund, mobilising directors and organisations across the island of Ireland to take action on climate change.
