Doing nothing gets you nothing, that’s for sure. But the truth is everyone has the ability to take action.

Topics: What we love

 

We all have dreams and goals personally and professionally, and a vision of how this looks. But dreaming is the easy part. Where do we begin and how do we make it happen?

Taking positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.

After all, an idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied!

Are you ready to take action? Then read on and infuse your life with action!

One of the most attractive features of Warp It to users is that we track the value of each trade, both financially and sustainably, so that we can help to demonstrate the value of reuse.

The importance of this is that people need to be aware of the impact of their reuse activities. Once this impact can demonstrated as positive and progressive, as well as cost and environmentally saving, the more others in the organisation will take notice and get involved. This is significant.

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.

One thing that we are occasionally asked is whether customers can send assets straight to a charity and bypass the internal reuse phase.

The reason this is asked is that when you add an asset it gets advertised to internal and then later to whoever has been defined as ‘priority two’, and ‘priority three’ (see this article about share days).

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

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?

If required in addition to our general webinars and online training, 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.

Stakeholders for the Warp It system includes (but is not limited to) professionals from Procurement, Capital Development, Finance, Logistics, and Estates.

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.

Daniel O’Connor is back to give you some fantastic advice about launching your reuse programme.

As the founder and all-around-good-guy of Warp It, Daniel’s hands-on approach has meant that he has worked directly with hundreds of Warp It users, if not thousands, to support their set up, launch, and ongoing project.

This article has been put together for Warp It Administrators, to help you pilot the Warp It programme.

The optimal stage to run a pilot is once you’ve set yourself up on the system, got to grips with the settings and customisable features, and have some insights about what the first major milestones you wish to deliver are.

The purpose of this article is to show the benefits of a Warp It reuse system to Procurement Managers.

This article is also very important for those who wish to encourage their procurement departments to engage more with reuse.
