Life Cycle Thinking Workshops

Life Cycle Thinking and the implementation of a Circular Economy approach can improve crucial environmental and social performance across the various stages of a product’s life. Armed with those understandings, companies can achieve competitive advantage, improved partnerships and deeper insights around their product and user interactions.

Now, market-leading sustainability experts Thinkstep have joined forces with award-winning integrated development specialists Locus Research.

Together, we deliver a course that provides environmentally conscious entities, from start-ups and SMEs to large corporate organisations, in pre-market, launch mode, or seeking to grow post-launch, with the crucial tools, strategies and approaches they need to be market leaders.

Tailored specifically for those in product and service development roles, each workshop builds on the last, introducing you to a design-led approach to Life Cycle Thinking and showing you how to directly and practically apply the key ideas, tools, and techniques in an integrated way.

Each workshop consists of a series of presentations followed by teamwork sessions, designed to enable your company to become more successful at developing and delivering new products to market.

A Three-Part Workshop Series

The content of each workshop builds on the previous session to enable a detailed investigation of the subject matter. This creates an accessible approach while engaging with important aspects of Life Cycle Thinking, management, and tools. Each workshop has a strong interactive learning component, designed to apply and reinforce key learnings from each session and tailored to participants.

You can participate in all three workshops in the series or elect to attend the specific workshop that best suits your individual needs.
