TRAININGS

The Circle Intro Workshop exposes participants to the key challenges of the circular economy. This half-day programme generates a strong learning curve for participants by engaging in role play that requires innovating with circular business models and design solutions. The result is experiencing the impact of the circular economy and new ideas on participant’s own economic and ecological challenges. This highly interactive workshop inspires to take action.

The Circle Finance Workshop works to improve the financeability of circular business models. In order to capture the added value in products and to ensure the return of products and materials to the value chain, circular business models require increased chain collaboration and a
shift of ownership and responsibilities from consumers to producers. Due to the newness of circular business models, financing barriers are not uncommon. This workshop addresses these barriers and offers practical advice in how to overcome them.

The circular economy begins with circular design thinking. Applied to products, services, business models and processes, circular design is an enabler to develop future-proof innovations. The workshop shows participants how to design for circularity and embrace the complexity of developing solutions for lifecycle values with structure and professional guidance. This programme can be customized if needed to answer the specific design questions of participants.

The Circle Business Innovation Workshop enables participants to innovate business models through circular design thinking. Its practical approach kick-starts a good understanding of the circular economy through principles and case studies. Participants apply learnings directly through industry tested methods in order to innovate their own value propositions. Future-proof strategies and business model innovations explore the impact of circular opportunities by focusing on establishing business scope, collaborations, consequences and benefits. The result is a circular, impact driven business innovation which integrates circular economy elements. This workshop is the starting point for circular ambitions becoming reality.
