| The goal of Roadmapping is to inform all the stakeholders (and internally in the organization as well), about the circularity plans, and how this is reflected in the CBMC Circular Business Model Canvas. |  |
In the ReSOLVEmeter tool, there are 2 Roadmaps, one for the ReSOLVE projects (ReSOLVE Roadmap), and the CMBC Roadmap, where the Projects are listed in the order of the CBMC Building Blocks to make it easier to fill them into the CBMC.
There are three time-frames in a ROADMAP:
NOW: is the first step to be taken to move on from the starting position. The timeframe here is about a year into the future. In the NOW we define the starting position and the action plans (if any) in each building block. What can be done within the first year? What resources are needed? And what are the costs? The NOW time frame is measured in Quarters (Q) (3 months period).
NEXT: is the nearest future of projects, 2 to 3 years out. Some projects can not be finalized in 1 year, and maybe you need to evaluate the project after a couple of years. If a project is working well, then maybe it should be elaborated, if not, it may have to be scaled down or cancelled. There might be some upgrades, or maintenance, or maybe the prerequisites for the project changes over time. In the NEXT timeline, each project is evaluated and action plans are amended. Sometimes the project's impact might require a shift in the main CMBC Building Block that is affected. The timeframe in the NEXT is measured in Half Years (H) (6 months period).
FUTURE: is the long-term plan for the project, 4 to 5 years out into the future. This far into the future planning, concrete action plans will not be feasible, but rather focus on the GOALS of the project. Are the projects reaching the desired levels of circularity? Is the budget holding up? Is there a need to adjust to new technology or rules (adoption factors)? Is the lifecycle of the project running out, or can it be extended? The content of the FUTURE time frame is described in whole Years (Y) (12 months period).
The exercise here is to be conscious of the circularity level of each building block of the CBMC and to map out goals and plans for the future.
Roadmapping is a tool to create an overview of the projects a company wants to implement. It is a reflective document, and not an air-tight planning tool. Each of the projects will have to be planned and managed separately, but the Roadmap gives a birds eye view of all the projects in the pipeline.
Resource Allocation of ReSOLVE project
In mapping out a ReSOLVE project, the ReSOLVEmeter allows the company to set what types of resources will be needed for the different phases of the project.
For each of the Resource columns (Process, Internal, External) the company can select from a set of pre-entered categories.
Customize the CBMC data (Resources Auxiliar Table)
For each of the Resource columns (Process, Internal, External) the company can select from a set of pre-entered categories.
Customize the CBMC data (Resources Auxiliar Table)
In the tab Resources Auxiliar Table you can add or edit the items on the lists (Process, Internal, External).
