The best of both worlds…
We live in unprecedented times: a global health crisis of an exceptional scale and an ongoing climate crisis with evermore pressing needs. Business as usual is not an option any longer. The circular economy has become an important concept to respond to these global crises and potentially offers organisations ‘a way out’.
Through this online management programme, offered in collaboration with Maastricht School of Management (MSM), the Maastricht Sustainability Institute (MSI), and the Brightlands Institute for Supply Chain Innovation (BISCI), you will get a better understanding of the risks, the challenges, and – even more important – the opportunities to respond to these challenges and find sustainable solutions.
Session 1 | 09.00-12.00
Learn how sustainable models can be used to resolve the dilemma of navigating global crises and profitable business processes.
Description
SETTING THE STAGE
We start by setting the stage, introducing the participants and their learning goals and expectations of the programme. We continue by an introduction on Eco-innovation as a driver of the circular economy.
Hosted by UMIO | Maastricht University and Maastricht School of Management (MSM)
RUNNING A BUSINESS IN TIMES OF CRISIS
We discuss the circular economy and its potential for small and large organisations. We focus on positive examples of business model innovation for the circular economy, and we discuss approaches to inspire change.
Hosted by Nancy Bocken & Mirjana Stanišić, representing the Maastricht Sustainability Institute (MSI)
Session 2 | 09.00-12.00
Understand the impact of a sustainable economic ecosystem on your business processes and the journey of your products.
Description
In this session we will focus on the (business) opportunities that a switch in purchasing & supply management (P&SM) methodology can bring to your organisation. This session aims to boost your understanding of the opportunities, yet also the potential risks of circular P&SM, especially in times of a pandemic.
Hosted by Bart Vos, representing the Brightlands Institute for Supply Chain Innovation (BISCI)
Session 3 | 09.00-12.00
Learn what it takes to design an adaptive and resilient business model for the future, given current developments.
Description
During this session we share tips, tools, and best practices on how to engage in iterative experimentation and continuous improvement of your business model. This session can be seen as a first step and practical guideline to start building (or reshaping) your own future-proof organisation.
Hosted by Sabine Janssen – representing UMIO | Maastricht University – together with one of UMIO’s partner organisations sharing best practices in circular business models
