How do we find a linear problem that needs a circular economy solution? Bec Evans, author of "How to Have a Happy Hustle: the complete guide to making your ideas happen" suggests starting with what's bugging you, and becoming an ‘avid problem collector’. We look at how our guests in the last series hunted down their linear problems and got clear on what the customer needed – the ‘job to be done’ in ‘Lean’ terms.
We also get an update on ApparelXchange’s new subscription model, and get some ‘bonus’ circular economy examples from David Greenfield (aka Dr Resources of the Circular Economy Club London).
Podcast host Catherine Weetman is a circular economy business advisor, workshop facilitator, speaker and writer. Her award-winning book, includes lots of practical examples and tips on getting started. Catherine founded Rethink Global in 2013, to help businesses use circular, sustainable approaches to build a better business (and a better world).
