Strategy Consulting

We provide expert advice and guidance to businesses, governments and other organizations seeking to implement dematerialization strategies and initiatives. The goal is to help them optimize resource use, reduce material consumption, and transition towards more circular practices. We use a systematic approach to analyze an organization's material footprint and identify strengths and weaknesses, as well as opportunities and threats, in order to formulate tailored dematerialization strategies. 

Our strategic consulting service includes the following elements:

 

Current State Assessment

Conducting a comprehensive analysis of the organization's current material footprint, resource use, and waste generation to identify opportunities for improvement.

Value Chain Analysis

Conducting assessments of the supply chain, market trends, customer preferences, and competitor landscape to identify trends and acceptance of dematerialization practices.

Goal Setting and Vision

Collaborating with the organization's leadership to establish clear dematerialization goals and a long-term vision aligned with sustainability principles.

Developing a dematerialization strategy (including key initiatives, goals, actions, and timelines) tailored to the organization's specific needs and objectives. 

Organizational Restructuring

Recommending changes in organizational structure, processes, and culture to align with the strategic goals and improve efficiency.

Dematerialization is not a one-size-fits-all approach, as each organization has unique challenges and opportunities. We work closely with their clients to understand their specific context, goals, and constraints, and then develop tailored strategies that align with the organization's values and objectives. By providing expert guidance and support, we help organizations successfully navigate the path towards a more sustainable and resource-efficient future.
