Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to determine the values and/or principles required to achieve the organisation’s selected approach to circularity and to embed them into organisational structures, systems and mechanisms. This unit applies to middle or senior managers, leaders or similar roles who contribute to setting the direction of the organisation and who have some influence, authority and responsibility in selecting and planning how to achieve long-term goals. The individual will contribute, with input from other decision-makers, to determining the organisation’s underpinning values and principles for circularity and planning how to embed these across the organisation through systemic supports such as new or improved structures, systems, procedures and/or other mechanisms. Typically, the systemic supports will relate to changes in areas such as organisational structure, procurement, partnerships and collaboration, new markets and business models, data systems, financial priorities, metrics and performance indicators, product, service or process design, engineering and equipment. This unit applies once the organisation has decided on its strategic direction and/or approach in relation to circularity. For the purposes of this unit circularity refers to the application of decisions and activities designed to move the organisation towards a non-waste scenario that is in equilibrium and which supports regeneration of natural systems. Circularity improvements will typically align to one or more aspects of the currently accepted frameworks of 3 Circular Economy principles and 5 Circular Economy business models. This unit applies to any organisation.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
