workshops & competence building

Increase your impact.
Speed up the circular transition.

My workshops are designed for companies (from CEO to product developers) as well as individuals (consultants, facilitators, designers) who want to build competence around circular economy.

what specific topics can be discussed?

I cover a broad range of topics around sustainability, circularity and system innovation. To provide you with the best content possible,  I´m also happy to tap into my large network. It contains a multitude of global academical and practical experts from topics such as sustainability, behavioural science, finance or entrepreneurship. Let´s have a discussion about what you need. 

what will we learn?

My mission is to help you build your circular and sustainability competence. Therefore, I not only share tools or processes, but also provide you with context and frameworks. This allows you to see the big picture around your situation, which enables you to identify and work on the underlying problem. It also helps you to understand the micro and macro levers for change and make informed decisions about which step you want or have to take next.

Do we need any preexisting knowledge?

When you request a workshop for your team, we will discuss the required outcome and existing knowledge level in detail. The workshop will then be tailored to your requirements.

For my open worksops – which I frequently offer – I put any knowledge requirements in the workshop description.   

do you also provide online workshops?

In fact, online trainings are my standard format. It allows to integrate high-level training into the participants work days much more easily.

Of course, you can request any workshop as on-site format as well.

what is the cost per workshop?

The costs for requested workshops depends on your requirements and will need to be discussed individually. For the open workshops you will find the price in the regarding workshop description.

I believe that a holistic understanding is basic to solving problems sustainably. Therefore, I offer an education that allows you for example to base your Circular Product Design on a solid ecological argumentation or the regarding Circular Business Model development on profound economic considerations.

The workshop offers you find here are part of a masterclass concept that speaks to professionals who want to increase their overall circular literacy.

Enrollment into the workshops via this page starts in July ´23. More details about the workshops will be provided soon.

Places are limited. If you want to ensure your slot earlier, just throw me an email.

“Susanne has become one of my main collaborators when we have to deal with Circular Economy. I participated in one of her trainings and we’ve been since then cooperating in projects and further trainings.”
