Next Generation Leadership in the Circular Economy – How should it look like?

A side-event to the World Circular Economy Forum

Decision-makers echo in a common voice the need for “next generation leadership” with the willingness to make decisions on the basis of sustainability. Yet, little or not enough is done to sharpen a talent pool ready to ride the numerous opportunities and tackle the wicked challenges the circular economy brings along. This afternoon’s curated gathering of practitioners, policy makers and entrepreneurs will allow them to dissect and deep dive into a topic that keeps most CEOs awake at night.

13.30-15.00
World Cafe (1/2): “Leadership in the Circular Economy: What have we got so far?”
The diverse mix of participants discuss their current leadership models for the circular economy. They will analyse what is working in their respective institutions and hear the same from others. It is a rare opportunity to take time out their busy schedule to share strategies, legacy thinking and question whether what got them where they are will get them to where they want to be.

15.00-15.15
Refreshment Break
– Tea, Coffee & Cakes for the Soul

15.15-16.45
World Cafe (2/2): “Future Design of Next-Generation Leadership: Thinking of the Impossible”
Participants discuss what it takes for them to lead in their organisations in the circular economy. They will challenge and be challenged on how they will survive or thrive in their world of turbulent markets, limited resources, social disparities and structural faults. Can they think of the impossible and work towards its execution, in this new circular economy era? What practical steps can they learn from their peer that they can implement the next day itself?

16.45-17.00
