Leadership in Times of Disruption: Sustainable Innovation & Circular Design

The current linear system of “take-make-waste” is no longer working for businesses, people and the environment. It is time for disruption, time to make the shift towards a new system - the circular economy. Sustainable innovation and circular design is a key concept that will have a critical role in enabling this transformation.

Taking your organization on the journey to the circular economy with human-centred methods is not just about becoming more environmentally friendly and innovative. It is changing your business fundamentally in terms of minimising risks and offering a whole universe of new business opportunities. Change starts on an interpersonal level and touches the entire bandwidth of an organization - teams, products, business model, brands, and entire systems.
