We’ve talked about decarbonisation, and also about a circular economy

Home / We’ve talked about decarbonisation, and also about a circular economy “But, internally driving these are not enough” “We need to also purchase solutions that actively drive these!” If you’re actively trying to procure solutions that decarbonise your supply chain and enable circular economy, chances are you’ve hit this wall and these conversations are not new to you. Either you’ve been part of it or or watched someone […]

Turning evaluation into progress

Home / Turning evaluation into progress We often need to choose between “things” in a progressive path for development. Something that already is there, and something “new” or an alternative which is expected to bring a different outcome that to what the current system delivers. What do these look like? – New products designed differently – […]

We can’t afford to shift what we procure to buy sustainable or circular products

Home / We can’t afford to shift what we procure to buy sustainable or circular products when we hear this, the real underlying question is: Can we afford not to? Most procurement teams get stuck in the same loop: – Chase the lowest unit price – Replace. repeat. dispose. They they focus on the main budget alloacted to purchase the product, not costs spent when it travels through […]

Making Trade-Offs Visible

Home / Making Trade-Offs Visible Why do some decisions look reasonable at the time, but cause problems later? Often, the issue is not the decision itself, but the trade-offs that were never discussed. In many organisations, options are compared using one dominant factor, such as: – choosing the lowest-cost supplier, – selecting the fastest solution […]

Why Many Decisions Feel Unclear

Home / Why Many Decisions Feel Unclear Many organisations say decisions feel harder than they used to. Is that because people are less capable, or because the decisions themselves have changed? More often than not, it is the latter. A typical decision today might involve: ·      cost targets that are fixed in annual budgets,·      performance or quality […]

Many product solutions are designed around an important assumption: that people will use products exactly as intended.

Home / Many product solutions are designed around an important assumption: that people will use products exactly as intended. But what does that actually mean in practice? It often means assuming that reusable items will be: – used frequently and consistently over long periods – returned, stored, or carried without friction – cared for in ways that preserve their durability […]

We want to be sustainable – right? Let’s move away from plastic

Home / We want to be sustainable – right? Let’s move away from plastic We see this a lot in packaging decisions: teams assume that choosing a material perceived as sustainable automatically lowers impact. But packaging doesn’t work that way. Different materials stress the system in different places: – Paper bags often come with higher water and energy use in production […]

Moving from reactive fixes to structured decision pathways – Why packaging needs foresight, not constant fixes

Home / Moving from reactive fixes to structured decision pathways – Why packaging needs foresight, not constant fixes Many packaging changes today are driven by immediate triggers, – New regulations – Customer feedback – Internal cost pressures etc. While these responses are often necessary, they tend to result in incremental, short-term fixes. Over time, organisations find […]

Packaging is not a materials decision, but a system choice

Home / Packaging is not a materials decision, but a system choice Packaging decisions are often treated as technical or material choices – Plastic versus paper – lighter versus heavier – Recyclable versus non-recyclable In practice, many organisations focus on improving one attribute at a time, usually in response to cost pressure, customer expectations, or […]
