6 Minutes to Understand:Geopolitics 2026 & Circular Economy (Resilience)
In 2026, geopolitics is no longer a distant setting: it can block supplies, weaken deadlines, and nibble away at margins.
In this episode of "6 minutes to understand", Pierre Léonard asks a simple question:
"In the face of tensions over critical minerals, trade routes under pressure and risks that are accumulating... Do we suffer, do we panic, or do we drive?"
The episode offers a very concrete grid in 3 postures (burying your head in the sand, panicking, or "taking the bull by the horns"), then a circular roadmap in 3 areas : securing supplies, optimizing assets, and valuing "post-use". With a clear objective, to transform the circular economy into a tool of robustness (not a slogan), and to leave with realistic actions.
Pierre also mentions a short format to take action: the circular sprint, designed to map risks, identify opportunities and prioritize a roadmap adapted to the company.
A question for you after listening: in your activity, are you more of a "just-in-time", "smart buffer", or already in the logic of "local loops"?
