Just like when you’re shopping online and want to browse through the customer reviews, staff want to see what kinds of experiences other people have had with your proposed culture change project. I was speaking to [Alex Fowler from Humberside NHS](https://blog.warp-it.co.uk/reuse-of-surplus-assets-and-furniture-in-healthcare-nhs-humberside) recently and he said that there were departments within his organisation who were now using 100% reused furniture. This got me thinking about making it easy for Alex to do a case study in these departments. So see below for our downloadable template. In this case we are talking about identifying a department who are doing really well on your furniture and equipment reuse program, however it can apply to any culture change project. In this blog post we explain a couple of benefits of using case study and give you access to a template  to go about creating a case study in order to increase participation in your online reuse portal.

In this article you can find links to all of our article templates to use in your organisation to help embed reuse.  Changing culture is hard! Really hard! Before setting off you should develop a [communication plan](https://blog.warp-it.co.uk/why-are-you-creating-the-communication-materials-for-your-project-havent-you-got-enough-to-do) with your comms team.  As part of the communication plan you should develop regular communications, especially in the first 12-18 months whilst embedding your reuse system into practice. This collection of templates will help you to promote your furniture reuse program across your organisation.  #### Here are some examples of the templates you can find: - Reuse program launch template - 'Look how well we are doing' template - Building Clearance announcement [Read More](https://blog.warp-it.co.uk/save-time-with-our-reuse-program-templates) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.warp-it.co.uk/save-time-with-our-reuse-program-templates#comments-listing) Topics: [Warp It admin](https://blog.warp-it.co.uk/topic/warp-it-admin), [Increasing participation](https://blog.warp-it.co.uk/topic/increasing-participation), [Easy wins](https://blog.warp-it.co.uk/topic/easy-wins) ## [New monthly reports on Warp It.
