Below, you’ll find four of our core offerings—each carefully developed to inspire and empower. For those with distinct goals, we also offer bespoke programmes, tailored with intention to meet your unique challenge
Circular Design and Innovation
As companies move toward circular strategies, they must rethink how they design products, deliver services, and structure their business models. This shift presents both significant opportunities and complex challenges—demanding more creative, collaborative, and systems-oriented approaches.
This course introduces participants to circular economy principles through the lens of design thinking. With its user-centered, iterative, and solution-driven approach, design thinking provides a powerful framework for reimagining products, services, and value chains.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of key concepts, tools, and practical techniques to support the development and implementation of circular solutions—enabling innovation that aligns with both business goals and sustainability ambitions.
CIRCULAR BUSINESS MODELLING
This course provides a practical introduction to developing circular business concepts that align with both current sustainability legislation and customer value. It equips teams with tools to design business models rooted in the circular economy—meeting EU regulatory requirements while strengthening brand awareness and fostering growth.
In line with the principles that guide all our courses, we view legislative change not as a constraint but as an opportunity—a catalyst for a new kind of growth that calls for curiosity, adaptability, and innovation.
By integrating design thinking, circular economy frameworks, and business modelling, participants gain a structured approach to creating purpose-driven, future-ready business concepts."
Strategic design thinking
This course helps your team apply design thinking at a strategic level to ensure that innovation efforts are aligned with brand value. It is ideal for professionals looking to increase both creativity and efficiency in development processes.
Participants will learn how to move from early-stage ideas to clear, actionable strategies—bridging creativity and business objectives through a designer’s lens.
