Net Zero Roadmaps: Targets, Baselines & Sequencing
Set targets that survive contact with the operations.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
The board approved a net zero roadmaps target that nobody has costed, baselined or sequenced — and the first assurance engagement is already booked. Markets price credibility: unverifiable net zero roadmaps performance is paid for in cost of capital, lost contracts and customer trust. This is where net zero roadmaps stops being brochure-ware and becomes the institution's licence to grow, borrow and trade.

The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
Forty Mini-Grids and One Expiring Subsidy
A rural electrification portfolio at a cement manufacturer was built on subsidised capital. The subsidy ends, collections run 20% below forecast, and the net zero roadmaps economics of every site are different.
Your decision: Run the portfolio triage, set the refinancing strategy, and decide what the communities and the lender hear.
IPAT Data Lab™
The net zero roadmaps claims in a food-and-beverage exporter’s report cannot survive an assurance engagement — yet.
Dataset: Synthetic ESG data-pipeline extracts with estimation gaps and inconsistent boundaries.
Your task: Repair the pipeline, rebuild the disclosure-grade numbers, and run the assurance pre-check.
An assurance-ready net zero roadmaps dataset and disclosure draft.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
