About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm excited to have Dr. Jane Smith with us, who is an expert in sustainability and risk management. She's here to talk about the new course she's teaching, the "Certificate Programme in Circular Crisis Management." Dr. Smith, welcome! GUEST: Thank you for having me! I'm looking forward to our discussion. HOST: Could you start by telling us a bit about your personal experiences that led you to teach this course? GUEST: Absolutely! I've spent over two decades working in sustainability and risk management, and I've seen firsthand how crises can impact organizations. I wanted to create a programme that would equip professionals with the skills needed to transform these challenges into opportunities. HOST: That's fascinating. Now, what current industry trends are most relevant to this course? GUEST: There are two key trends: first, the increasing importance of integrating sustainability into business strategies; and second, the shift towards circular economy practices as a solution for resource scarcity and waste management. HOST: Those sound like critical areas for professionals to understand. What challenges have you faced or seen others face when learning or teaching this subject? GUEST: One major challenge is breaking down the silos between different functions within an organization. Sustainability, risk management, and circular economy are often treated as separate issues, but they're interconnected. Helping students see the connections and work across disciplines can be difficult but rewarding. HOST: That's true. Now, looking towards the future, where do you see the field of circular crisis management heading? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see more organizations adopting circular economy principles and proactively managing risks related to sustainability. There will also be a growing need for professionals who can navigate this complex landscape and drive positive change. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today.
