INTRODUCTION
The Life Cycle Thinking series is back for 2009, with a set of two day workshops that deliver easily understandable information and applicable tools for sustainable design and development in New Zealand. Originally delivered in 2008 over three days, this year’s series has been compressed into a two day format with updated content.

The series is a programme of three professional development workshops focussed on lifecycle design, covering the topics of Life Cycle Thinking, Life Cycle Management, and Life Cycle Tools & Approaches. Course content is structured to move beyond general discussion and into specific ideas, tools, methods, and approaches to ensure that participants are able to apply these skills within their own organisations.

Starting in July, the 2009 series, which is to be rolled out in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin, will include content that is structured progressively as before so the second and third topics can build on the previous sessions to enable a more detailed investigation of the Life Cycle Thinking methodology. Each topic also has a strong interactive learning component which is designed to apply and reinforce key learnings from the session.

This DINZ series has fresh support from design-in-business advocates Better by Design and the Sustainable Business Network, and hopes to educate more of the design and business community the second time round.
