Do we have the capability today to deliver the food system transformation for the future?
March Expert Event for members
Thursday 5th March 2026
10:00am – 11:00am | Online
We’re launching our new report: Execution at Risk: Why the Food Sector’s Human Capital Gap May Be the Biggest Barrier to Food System Transformation.
The new report from Future Food Movement identifies a clear execution gap across the UK food system. Across surveys and interviews with senior leaders, one theme is consistent: the sector has strong ambition, but far weaker capacity to execute under real-world pressure. Strategy isn’t the differentiator, execution capability is.
The session will bring these findings to life and explore what this means for commercial performance, leadership and cross-functional delivery.
Hear from our guest speakers and report contributors:
Chris Hatcher, Head of FMCG Practice, Redgrave Search
Ken Sloan, CEO & Vice Chancellor, Harper Adams University
Susan Thomas, Co-Facilitator, Thinking Partner Network, Future Food Movement & Director, Snowstorm Consulting
