Transformation Design

• Module 1 – Re-adaptive Learning

  You will familiarize yourself with the 15 S Model: a Strategic Design process applicable to any aspect of your organisation, its outcome can be varied and understood as a coherent ecosystem of dynamic solutions. At the end of this module, you will know all 15S’s and how to use them within your work. You will wrap up module 1 with a peer-to-peer learning session in smaller groups (self-organised with instructions from the trainers)

• Module 2 – Sustainable Change and Diversity

  In this module you will learn about the six Sustainable Development Goals transformations, the four roadblocks that are holding us back from having impact on sustainable change and how design and its best traits can help. You will also learn ways to organize diversity within your team or organization and how this will impact sustainable change and transformation. You will wrap up module 2 with a peer-to-peer learning session in smaller groups (self-organised with instructions from the trainers)

• Module 3 – Transformation

  In this module, you will learn about your personal role in transformation: how does the self relate to the system, and what role do our intentions have? You will learn about the differences between change and transformation, between complicated and complex problems, between a global and local outlook, and between designing in the open and behind closed doors. You will walk away with a clear notion of the need for co-inspiration as the enabler for true transformation. You will wrap up module 3 with a peer-to-peer learning session in smaller groups (self-organised with instructions from the trainers)

• Module 4 – Experimentation

  In this module, you will learn how a culture of experimentation is crucial in the organization of any transformation. You will learn how to formulate experiments fitting for transformation design challenges and how co-creation is a key to successful transformation. We wrap up the entire course with a live session.

After successful completion of the course, participants should be able to understand:

• During this course you will follow 4 modules. Each module will have an introductory, and theoretical and practical video to start your learning experience.
• Then, you will use the workbook to make exercises that will be reflected within your designated team of peers (who also follow the course).
• At the start and end of the course, a live facilitated session is scheduled to get you on your way and wrap up all learnings with the full cohort.
• Additionally, you will work with the extensive ‘Transformational Triggers’ toolkit.

A certificate of completion issued by Digital Society School (Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences) will be sent to successful participants. Successful completion can be achieved by attending all modules of the course.
