Building Adaptive Organizations for the Circular Economy

As organizations accelerate their circular economy ambitions, conversations often focus on technology, regulation and new business models. But one critical question remains: Are our organizations truly prepared to lead this transformation? In this keynote, I'll introduce the Adaptive Organizations Framework—a strategic perspective on how systems thinking, inclusive leadership and strategic innovation can help organizations build resilience, accelerate transformation and create long-term competitive advantage. This session is designed for business leaders, sustainability professionals, innovation teams, policymakers and anyone interested in the organizational capabilities required to make the circular transition successful. During this session we'll explore: ✅ Why circular transformation is fundamentally an organizational challenge ✅ The role of systems thinking in navigating complexity ✅ How inclusive leadership strengthens innovation and adaptability ✅ Practical capabilities organizations need to compete in the circular economy Sessions in English, Spanish, and Portuguese will be available on the registration page: https://flaviasales.com/climateweeknyc2026.
