Decision design for the energy and climate transition
We help organisations make resilient decisions in a changing world, through targeted analysis and expertly facilitated workshops.
Where can we afford to adapt, and can we afford not to?
Physical climate impacts are becoming material:
Can we diversify through our strategy to spread our exposure?
Which risks are we willing to tolerate, where will we not have a choice?
ADAPTATION
How much do we commit before we know what wins?
The transition is creating new opportunities:
Should we invest now or wait for demand?
How do we balance our stakeholders’ expectations with transition realities?
TRANSITION
Can we keep cutting carbon when it threatens performance?
The easy decarbonisation wins are complete:
Should we rely on policy or make other plans?
What are we willing to pay to meet our targets?
DECARBONISATION
Decisions we see organisations facing
Facilitated workshops
Expert facilitation that holds diverse teams in uncertainty just long enough to work through choices, assumptions and trade-offs.
Decision mapping
A structured decision-led process to map out what to do now, what can wait, and how to know when to move.
Adaptation stress-test
We help identify the commitments that lock you in and interrogate which options can actually be executed in time to adapt to change.
Bespoke scenarios
We stress test decisions against designed futures that force clarity on the uncertainties that really matter to you.
Ability to adapt
We test whether your organisation can adapt to the uncertainties that threaten your success.
Adaptation window
Goldcrest gives you the tools to tackle these challenges and a neutral space to use them well.
We test whether your organisation can adapt quickly enough to act before the window closes.
We are experts in energy and climate and decision-making under uncertainty.
We are pragmatic – we start from your organisation’s purpose and what success means for you.
We work around a specific decision, or set of decisions, use what you have, add what’s needed and get the job done.
Senior enough to challenge the substance.
Independent enough to hold the room.
Focused enough to never lose sight of your decision.
What you get when you work with Goldcrest
Deliberate commitments
Clarity on what you do now, what you will defer, and when you will move.
Robust options
Clarity on which moves will really remain available and whether you can make them in time.
Earned confidence
Clarity on why the decision makes sense, what it depends on and which uncertainties really matter.
