About Transitioning to the Circular Economy

Many forces are requiring the business and design community to transform the way we deliver value to the economy. Sustainability, climate action, and the circular economy are all requiring shifts in the way goods and services are produced and business models are developed. There is a misconception that these factors will cost more and reduce revenue for businesses, but with the right knowledge, tools, and approaches, they present an incredible innovation opportunity that opens new markets and puts businesses ahead of the curve.

This interactive and immersive workshop will cover a circular redesign process that enables businesses to explore their current linear products and services, find promising circular alternatives, and consider the service delivery options and business models that work in a circular economy. This enables future-focused thinking to be embedded within the company and also supports the needed responses to the transition to a circular and sustainable economy.

Interactive & immersive workshop will give you:

Business application strategies for circular economy transformation
Design and product/service level interventions that create triple-bottom-line benefits
Regional and international case studies and innovation opportunities/inspiration
Run-through of the 6 stages of the Circular ReDesign Model to create viable circular business solutions
Content on service delivery models, PSS, business cases for transition, business models, and approach
