Why we need to become more exploratory to get to NetZero

Grant 'Axe' Rawlinson is the human powered explorer and he recently posted on LinkedIn that he was speaking at an event in Singapore, talking about the need for organisations to become more exploratory in their journeys towards NetZero, versus waiting for all the data to make perfect decisions. According to Axe, it’s time to get out there and start experimenting, embracing the unknown.

I wanted to understand more about his thinking, so we had a wonderful conversation about the importance of being exploratory in solving the biggest challenges we face to achieve NetZero. We talked about so much more, including the adventures he’s already undertaken (these are extreme challenges very few people have the courage to undertake), as well as what’s coming up next, on his boat called “Little Donkey.” 

Finally, I found it very insightful to hear that most of the clients he works with are interested in one thing: how he dealt with failure and literally got back in the water, especially as he’s talking about his experiences in one of the world’s most dangerous and unpredictable oceans. 

A great conversation, worth listening too and sure to inspire. We need to take massive risks, there is no data to show the path, failure must be embraced and it’s time to adopt an explorers mindset and get to work.
