The First Circular Business Move – Roadmap

The First Circular Business Move – Roadmap is a practical set of canvases designed to help organisations move from early circular actions to intentional, long-term change — without locking themselves into rigid plans too early.

It helps you decide what comes next, in what order and why. Instead of jumping straight into large strategies or multi-year plans, these canvases support a more realistic approach: clarify ambition, assess readiness, involve the right people, prioritise deliberately and build a roadmap that can evolve as you learn.

Work through the canvases in order or revisit them as your understanding deepens.

  • Clarify what circularity means for your organisation and what is in scope.
  • Assess readiness and identify gaps in skills, data, systems, governance or mindset.
  • Identify who needs to be involved and when.
  • Prioritise actions based on impact, feasibility, learning value and control.
  • Translate priorities into a living roadmap with milestones, ownership and review points.

Each canvas includes a quick readiness check-in to identify uncertainty, alignment needs and future decisions.

What you’ll have at the end:

  • A shared circular ambition
  • A clearer view of readiness and enablers
  • Agreed priorities and sequencing
  • A flexible roadmap with ownership and learning built in

Who it is for:

Organisations that have started exploring circular initiatives, including SMEs, larger organisations, internal teams and consultants supporting circular transitions.
