Course - How to create longer lasting products for circular offerings
Do you want to learn how to design adaptive product solutions for circular business models? Then register for our course in Future Adaptive Design (FAD), 4 half days starting October 4! Circular solutions have the potential to be more profitable for producing companies and cheaper for customers.
The FAD methodology is a well-proven working method for developing products optimized for a circular economy.
You will learn to use the FAD methodology, which is the result of ten years of research at RISE and accumulated experience from collaborating with companies in several different industries.
You will learn to use RISE's tools and methods to:
- Design more durable products that can be adapted to future needs and requirements
- Identify the greatest risks of products becoming obsolete prematurely
- Analyze profitability and environmental benefits for a suggested circular business model
- Understand how purchase price and life cycle costs can be balanced
Target group
The course is aimed at business leaders, design and innovation leaders, change agents, designers, product development engineers and project managers in product development and design. We also see leaders in environmental issues as important participants.
Course format
The course sessions are held online, in English and no prior knowledge is required. We would like you to bring your own product or real challenge to work with during the course. If you don't have a product, you will get to work with our examples.
The course is laid out in 4 parts of 3 hours. We start on Friday October 4th from 9 am to 12 noon and the following occasions are on Fridays.
Part 1: October 4, 2024 - Introduction, establishing a starting point and setting vision
Part 2: October 18, 2024 – Understanding the Investment Calculus
Part 3: November 8, 2024 – Analyze the financial potential
Part 4: 22 November 2024 – Evaluate alternative design solutions and their environmental potential
