Projects within organisations come in all shapes and sizes, but there’s one thing that they all share in common, and that’s collaboration.

No matter how difficult or complex a project may be, its success is dependent on how well the various parties involved have come together to make it happen.

We believe in the value of training and support, which is why we are launching Stakeholder Buy-In Webinars to ensure your reuse system gets off to a flying start.

 

These webinars are for Warp It customers, prospective customers and also any other organisation who feels they need to get stakeholders pulling behind reuse!

 

Our vision is to make reuse normal and we know how to do that so we will help any organisation who i on that same journey. 

We also offer these Webinars to support existing reuse systems where they can benefit from greater levels of automation or participation.

Reuse projects need collaborators

Getting reuse to thrive internally and externally requires collaborators from around the estate, but getting support from these collaborators can be a real challenge. The best thing you can do is to show everyone on the estate how they benefit from reuse.

Here are some helpful resources:

How does a Waste Manager benefit?

How does a Space or Decant Manager benefit?

How does a Director of Estates benefit?

How does a Head Porter benefit?

How does the ‘big boss’ benefit?

How does a Procurement Manager benefit?

How a workshop can gain support from all

What is a stakeholder session?

We can book you in for a stakeholder session. This online session can help with things like buy-in, participation, and understanding the abilities of the software.

The stakeholder sessions can be joined either by bringing the relevant people into a conference room with a large computer screen, or by each member joining from their desktop, tablet, laptop, or phone.

In the web session we outline the benefits to each of the stakeholders, present the overview, and take any questions that may be had.

The purpose of this article is to show the benefits of a Warp It reuse system to Waste Managers and other related positions.

The Waste Manager (or equivalent) on an estate usually has responsibility for all of the waste that's produced there. This means one of their key objectives is to dispose of this waste in a safe, legal, and sustainable manner. That means managing, recycling, and disposing of solid waste, hazardous waste, bulky waste.
