Support Clients on their Sustainability Journey

A senior executive publicly committed on national business news that all frontline colleagues would receive sustainability training. There was no standardized enablement in place across Business Banking and Private Banking. The course had to launch within three weeks.

Audience: Business Banking and Private Banking frontline colleagues
Scope: Enterprise sustainability enablement
Format: 22-minute Articulate Storyline course
Role: Sole designer and project lead

High-stakes project management and instructional design


  • Translated the bank’s sustainability strategy and $50B target into clear, frontline-ready guidance

  • Structured the course around practical conversation starters so sales colleagues could confidently initiate sustainable finance discussions

  • Converted stakeholder PowerPoint materials into cohesive, scenario-driven learning

  • Implemented a defined review cadence with structured feedback checkpoints to maintain executive alignment

  • Controlled scope by limiting revisions to agreed-upon components during each cycle

  • Delivered a mandatory enterprise course within three weeks

Strategic Actions:


When an executive makes a public commitment, the margin for error disappears. The work has to be structured and disciplined.

Decision Rationale:


Rather than allowing iterative, open-ended review cycles that could jeopardize the launch date, I established defined review windows with decision checkpoints. This kept us aligned without putting the launch date at risk.

The Insight:


How it’s used:

  • Mandatory deployment across Business Banking and Private Banking

  • Established a consistent sustainability message tied to enterprise targets

  • Gave frontline sales colleagues a clear starting point for sustainable finance conversations with clients

  • Served as foundational knowledge prior to deeper product-specific instruction

Delivered enterprise sustainability enablement on schedule, protecting the executive commitment while giving frontline teams a practical starting point for client conversations.
