The Circular Business Navigator

Our systematic approach allows you to manage the complexity of the Circular Economy step-by-step, resulting in a manageable process to develop solutions for your company.

For over 5 years, we have worked together with the University of St. Gallen to bring our systematic innovation approach to the Circular Economy. The goal is to uncover and capture the value and opportunities that arise from changing customer demands and regulations.  

Now is the time to take action. New regulation is on the horizon: The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation is only one of the reasons to start transitioning from a linear to a circular logic. 

Benefit from a methodology that builds on more than 250 case studies and was developed jointly with one of the leading business universities in Europe and numerous large corporations and was recognised by the HBR.

 

Our Open Workshop

One of the main challenges in adopting circular solutions is their complexity. Our approach simplifies this process, enabling you to concentrate on developing impactful solutions that truly make a difference in your company.

Action-based learning means you learn by doing
As you apply new skills, you don't just learn; you internalize them. Together, we'll design tangible business models and ecosystems based on a real-world case study. This bridges the gap between theory and practical execution, equipping you with the tools to effectively execute the approach in your company. 

Be one step ahead and capture business opportunities  While most companies focus on reporting and making their current business models more sustainable, we see sustainability and the Circular Economy differently: It is a huge opportunity for companies to gain a competitive advantage. You learn how to achieve that. 

Connect and collaborate on Circular Economy solutions Embrace the essence of the Circular Economy, which thrives on cooperation. In our workshop, you'll bring this concept to life by engaging in joint problem-solving with knowledgeable participants from around the world. Together, you'll craft innovative solutions that make a real impact.
