Circular Economy --> cradle-to-cradle concept

The fundamental idea is to extend the lifespan of existing materials and products in order to minimize waste. Various options for action are possible: reuse, repair, recycle.

The circular economy is the alternative to the traditional linear economy, where products are often designed for short-term use. The transformation of our economic system towards a comprehensive circular economy is particularly necessary due to the increasingly scarce natural resources.

The Cradle-to-Cradle concept is the vision of a never-ending circular economy.

Cynefin framework

Cynefin framework builds an awareness of what challenge is really complex and what is not

It helps to respond accordingly (in context: confusion, chaos, complex, complicated, simple) so that no energy is wasted in overthinking the routine but they also never try to make the complex fit into standard solutions

It is used in a.o.: strategy, public policy, military, safety, energy, healthcare, sales, education --> Cynefin framework
