Participants will:
- Map circular value flows in a service ecosystem.
- Identify feedback loops and dependencies.
- Find leverage points for system change.
- Design regenerative service models.
- Understand system dynamics and behaviors.
- Create sustainable value.
- Optimize resource flows and minimize waste.
Participants will deliver:
- A map of ecosystem loops.
- An understanding of system dynamics.
- A foundation for intervention.
Think in loops, not just linear flows. Include all stakeholders, even indirect ones. Consider long-term system health. Look for win-win circular opportunities. Address social and environmental sustainability. Start with small pilot interventions. Monitor system-wide effects. Design for regeneration, not just efficiency. Sometimes, identifying the right stakeholders is harder than it looks; give teams time to iterate.
