Top 10 office items you should never throw away

You are delivering projects that are making a difference. There's no significant change or value delivered overnight, and it’s vital that you bare this in mind. If you're delivering quality and value,  you need to plan, you need to formulate a proper strategy, you need to consult- there's lots to take in. You will get tired. The team will get tired.

In this blog post we tell you how to roll with the punches and deliver greatness.

Do you get to the end of the week, feeling like you have worked really hard and your to do list is the same as it was on Monday? (Or even the Monday before? as in my case!) 

COULD LETTING GO BE PART OF THE ANSWER?

I have really struggled with this in the past. But you have to face it. If you want to be productive you need to collaborate and I would go as far to say: Anything you are not excellent at- should be passed to someone who is. So that you can continue with the stuff you are excellent at.

This blog post is about getting an informal inter departmental team together to roll out your reuse programme (or any project really). It is about finding common objectives which overlap so you can deliver the project as a team.  

Read this article and then read this article- how to build an implementation team.

If you are leading on your reuse programme, or if you lead on sustainability, procurement or facilites managemenrt (FM) projects in your organisation, you need a team of cross departmental collaborators to get your project finished. Don’t underestimate the power of teamwork; you need people to help you complete this project. You can't take it on all yourself, and here’s a few reasons why.

Warp It’s founder, Daniel O’Connor, used to be the Waste Manager at Newcastle University. Back in 2008, they were rolling out their first comprehensive recycling scheme. He was going out, putting down bins, putting on stickers and talking to people, as well as hosting clinics. He was there dropping the bins off in the morning just because he wanted to assist. He wanted the project to work, and he knew that he was facing quite a bit of reluctance. Plus, he was new in the role, and he really wanted to make a big impact, so he really put his heart and soul into it.
