  • Resilient circular business models

    Dear Patrick,

    So pleased that I listened to this podcast, I liked this specialization in circular business model, personally I’d like this podcast will address resilience in business models, how we can improve resilience in this case and approximately which circular business models can be defined as successful cases or with which parameters. Keep it up and looking forward to next episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Circular Strategy at Philips: Turning Trade-Ins Into Revenue
Q: What role does regulation play in enabling or hindering circularity?
Regulations are diverse and often slowing, but some regions' proactive policies can accelerate adoption; regulation acts as a lever when it becomes a minimum standard that others follow.
Circular Strategy at Philips: Turning Trade-Ins Into Revenue
Q: How do you measure the impact of circular initiatives?
Key KPIs include close the loop (trade-in and take-back), circular revenue, and purchase prevention of parts, linked to data-driven insights on customer retention and tender outcomes.
Circular Strategy at Philips: Turning Trade-Ins Into Revenue
Q: What resistance did you encounter on the journey to circularity?
Internal process friction, such as reclassifying returned equipment from customer to supplier, and external skepticism about refurbished versus new equipment, were the main hurdles that required process changes and proving quality.
Circular Strategy at Philips: Turning Trade-Ins Into Revenue
Q: Patrick, as a start, how did Philips become a more circular company?
Top-down leadership since 2015, reinforced by a multi-year program with measurable KPIs, created the foundation for circularity to scale across refurb, remarketing, and reuse of parts.
Breitling Rewind: Repair as a Heritage Business Model
Q: How does Breitling ensure the sustainability narrative translates into day-to-day operations?
Breitling maintains a systemic approach where heritage and sustainability are integrated across departments; they use internal stock for parts, focus on repairing and reconditioning rather than replacing, and communicate progress locally while pursuing a plastic-free target across the value chain.
