Warp It’s Founder, Daniel O’Connor, is here to talk about disruption, innovation, and solving problems. Please read on and enjoy his interesting thoughts...

One part of your tool kit for culture change should be emails.

In this article you will find links to all of our email templates for use within your organisation, in order to help embed reuse. 

Changing culture is hard! Really hard! Before setting off you should develop a communication plan with your comms team. 

As part of the communication plan you should develop regular communications, especially in the first 12-18 months of embedding your reuse system into common practice.

This collection of templates will help you to promote your furniture reuse program across your organisation. 

Please note: The 6 downloads in the subheadings are different templates to those provided in the free download at the end of this piece.

This article is something different.

This article is me speaking to you personally, sharing a piece of content that I believe will have a huge and immediate positive impact on you. I don’t usually address the Warp It audience in this way, but I feel that this podcast holds such great wisdom that the teachings it provides, if taken on personally by Warp It’s members and partners, could bring welcome rewards.

I think you should read or listen to it because this technique is a great way to help people and stops you saying yes to everything and cluttering up your schedule!

The purpose of this blog post is to help existing customers increase their charity donation capacity in the local area.

As you may know, a large part of Warp It is designed to facilitate the passage of surplus corporate assets into the charity sector, and so far we have helped our customers donate over £2m worth of assets.

Welcome! We want to talk to you about making cultural change in large organisations, and to do so we must discuss one particular technique that is used globally, but is seldom followed in organisations.

What’s the technique?

The technique is to use social media and word of mouth influence to help you get your message out and do your job for you, even while you sleep. We’ll use the example of a reuse programme, but this could apply to any kind of culture change in procurement, facilities, energy management, or the whole organisation.

From being unearthed and identified for reuse, to being advertised on Warp It and securing a new home, items go through a journey that alters their status. 

In part two of this series we are going to talk about the first of our four case studies (part one).

I’m Daniel, Head of Customer Happiness at Warp It, and I’m the narrator of this article. What I encourage you to do, before or after reading this article, is to watch the video of the people from these organisations talking about how the system works in their city. These videos are between 3 & 5 minutes long.

Membership Charities & Community Voluntary Services (CVS) across the land are discovering they can join Warp It and give their members access to millions of pounds worth of free corporate assets.

Welcome wonderful representatives from memberships groups and CVS's, take a look at some of the perks your FREE Warp It membership offer, and download our instructions on how to take advantage of this service and add great value to your members.

What is in it for membership groups and CVS's?

• Get free access to corporate assets like furniture, stationery and equipment for your members
• Provide your membership with even better value from your CVS service!

How do  membership groups CVS's get involved?

Quite simply the membership group or CVS sets up a portal on Warp It (we show you how below) and then invites their members to join (we give you a template). Your  members then get free access to surplus corporate assets. 

The membership group or CVS can than add their own logo to their portal to sow their leadership and value to their members. 

Welcome! This article is all about the reuse of surplus assets within and between the University Sector in the UK.
