  Topic: The Circular Economy
Companies face a rapidly increasing challenge, and opportunity, to grow their businesses and create value amidst volatile and scarce supply of natural resources and environmental concerns, driving up prices and uncertainty.  Circular Economy – an alternative model decoupling growth from scarce resource use – provides the key to managing this challenge at both the macro and micro level: allowing economic development within natural resource limits and allowing companies to innovate and enable customers to do ‘more with less.' Leading global companies are following the lead of innovative smaller enterprises, applying the Circular Economy framework for growth and innovation towards ‘Circular Advantage’ in what Accenture's research shows is already a trillion dollar plus prize. New business models and technologies require a new mindset among executives and a new set of capabilities at the intersection of strategy, technology and operations. 

Join Sol in a discussion about how companies can capture the full business opportunity of Circular Economy.
