Use cutting-edge business model innovation tools designed by the University of Cambridge to discover how to transform your business to deliver uncaptured and sustainable value throughout the lifecycle, and design value propositions for the stakeholders in your business networks.

Is your business getting the full benefit of the value you are creating for customers and other stakeholders?

Could your current business model be actively destroying value and ultimately affecting the organisation's ability to capture value in the long run?

How do you identify resource synergies that will enable circular business models?

Answers to these questions will be explored during the two-day short course, through the business model innovation tools, industry case studies and insights from leading research on the circular economy.

Learn from industry experts and thought leaders

The deep dive into the business model innovation tools will be led by Dr Doroteya Vladimirova from the Scaler Project and the Centre for Industrial Sustainability, Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) at the University of Cambridge.
