Engaging your organisation in reuse is getting more and more popular each month, as we see and hear sentiment and content from all around the industry push this method of resource efficiency.

Through Warp It, members have managed to save more than £18 million collectively, with almost £7 million coming from members of the £100K club!

That is customers who have saved over £100K! 

With so many organisations, including businesses, charities, hospitals, NHS trusts, universities, colleges and schools now benefiting from our service, we thought it would be a great opportunity to highlight those who have exceeded particular milestones in savings.

Making Reuse Mainstream

Our aim is to make reuse mainstream and give you the tools and tips to help you do that in your organisation.

To help with that we are delivering regular regional workshops. See here.

I was going to write a blog post about why you should come to the workshops but then i thought i would widen the scope and give you reasons to go to any relevant event or workshop.

If the CEO and senior management abandoned an organisation overnight and did not come back for one month.

The staff probably would not notice the difference.

If the porters or cleaners (and others in Facilities Management) did the same, after 3 days the organisation would not be able to function.

We want to make reuse mainstream.

So do our customers.

“Got. Got. Need. Need. Got. Got. Got. Got. Need. Need. Need.”

We know you are busy and we know it is very hard to get away from work, so we squeeze a great deal into these short sessions. 

In these workshops we have 15-20 minute slots where you hear from procurement, waste, facilities management and sustainability experts talking about their reuse journey and how they have overcome barriers.

We split these presentations up with quick breakout sessions, where you will meet and talk with colleagues from other organisations who are also streamlining reuse. 

The topics are vast and the things you can learn will be amazing.

Imagine this all-too-common scenario:

• You’re trying to make a behaviour change in your organisation.

• You’re dead set on improving things.

• You are working so hard

• You miss out on one easy key action that has a huge impact 

Most projects aren’t doomed for failure at the beginning; but the reality is that sometimes things fall apart, for a whole lot of reasons.

Making Reuse Mainstream

Our aim is to make reuse mainstream and give you the tools and tips to help you do that in your organisation.

In 2018 we are delivering a series of regional workshops. The objectives of the workshops are

• Help existing Warp It customers (and main players across the region) collaborate with each other to maximise reuse internally and externally. 
• Share experiences of barriers and solutions to help others maximise reuse.

It is much better way of learning to listen to peers talk about their experiences rather than consultants, experts (or even listening to us)! 

• There are people out there who have worked out the short cuts to success. 
• There are people out there who have made all the mistakes there are to be made already.
• There are people out there who have a wealth of knowledge to share.

We have decided to get these people together and do a workshop as part of our support offering.

The topics are vast and the things you can learn will be amazing (if you are into increasing organisational reuse!).

During 2018 we will deliver regional workshops to bring this experience to you. 

Will you share your story?

We are all coaches. One way to coach is to give presentations about your learnings and experience.

This article is all about why you should share your knowledge and experience.

You build and deliver projects as part of your duties at work.

You have developed professional expertise.

You have your own unique set of skills, knowledge and experience that you have picked up delivering projects.

Think about all the ways you can use it to impact others’ objectives. Sharing your knowledge with colleagues is a great service.

I would go as far as to say it is a waste of your time NOT to share your story- because if you keep all those experiences to yourself then others will have to go through the same process of learning.

You can give them the short cuts to success by passing on your experience. When you share what you have learned with others you help them to save time, resources and money.

Why you should share your story

• You want to help your peers.
• You want your peers to be able to repeat your project in their organisation.
• You need to tell everybody about your challenges, what worked, what didn't work.
• You need to tell your colleagues in other institutions what you failed at, why it failed, so they can avoid your expensive mistakes.

And on a personal level

• Much greater personal impact
• Respect and recognition from your peers and colleagues
• Further your career
