Warp It's Daniel O'Connor is here to talk about asking the right questions...

I received a text from a friend who is Head of Sales at a multinational organisation. He has just gained several new sales staff and lost a few already, so he asked me for some good interview questions.

Some might say that a large bureaucratic organisation is one of the hardest environments to get things done in.

We have to agree! 

This is a sign posting article where we have collected all of our blog posts about getting stuff done in large bureaucratic organisations , with a focus on minimal input and maximum impact!

All of these articles have been written from our experiences implementing sustainability, waste and reuse projects in the public sector over the last 15 years.

This collection is a work in progress and is not exhaustive. If there is a subject matter missing- please comment and we will do an article on it if it is relevant!

This blog will provide you with advice on how to get difficult people to buy into your project.  We also talk about why you need to build rapport when rolling out culture changes across large organisational estate.

If you are a facilities manager, sustainability manager or operations manager, this blog is going to benefit you no end.

We’ve talked about this topic in other blog posts, but we had a meeting recently with Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. They have a well developed reuse system but have adopted Warp It to help with the management. They asked what sort of metrics they could use to quatify a goal using the Warp It system- financial, environmental or social? For us it was a no-brainer. To be blunt:  Track the financial savings! That is what your seniors want to see primarily. What was re assuring about the conversation was the fact Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust were setting goals for the project- and the comment stimulated this blog post!

Good question! Thanks to a very fruitful business meeting recently, we have come up with three reasons why procurement should lead on the reuse of surplus assets.

What does success look like to you? Think, picture it, and visualise it, go on, take a few seconds...
