Feel in control with a pragmatic approach

Reduce costs  

Beat the lack of standards, tools and knowledge

Done in a Day Circular Procurement

As many professionals like procurers & category managers out there you might feel overwhelmed by the whole topic of circular procurement. The lack of support in the whole process, the scattered and confusing information on how to get started and keep going and last but not least bringing all parties together can be extremely frustrating.

For this reason we created this program for you. We put all our knowledge and experience in it. Many of our clients have used this approach and are not only being succesful, they are in control and proudly moving forward.

In just one day, 8 one hour sessions with pre-recorded videos you will go through a program in your time and pace, to help you get a grip of circular procurement and work on topics like CO2 reduction. Stop searching the internet for guidance only to keep doing what you were doing and not starting at all. It is pragmatic and doable but most of all we know you will succeed. And the best thing? You can keep going through the program over and over again. So no matter if you are beginner or more advanced, every single time you work through it, you will take the next step to the next level.

Maybe in your current role or within your organisation circularity is getting more and more attention. For sure people in your environment are talking about CO2 reduction and are looking for a way to get the needle moving.

Perhaps you just want to start small within your own surroundings or maybe your organisation has already set a long-term circular ambition. In all cases this Done-in-a-Day will be the perfect entry into handling circular procurement in a more structured way. A way that will get your true results.

Within 8 times one hour you will create your own starting point. Based on your own and our customers experiences, best practices and learnings you will effectively get guidance to make it yours. If you are more advanced you will be able to start and continue from your own baseline.

The outline for this course is designed around the 9R framework which allows a better and more practical way to implement and continue with circular procurement.
