After months of strain and concentration on the day-to-day management of COVID-19 challenges, leadership teams were showing signs of strain, as were their staff. There was a need for optimism, but not false hope. Enter Transition Design, which builds on over a decade of design thinking expertise to examine where there's greatest potential with least effort to make sustainable system change.
We don't just talk through challenges or ask big questions: we answer them and make change happen on the ground. Six weeks of activity frame the journey from initial vague silver linings from a crisis year all the way through to the process of initiating change with cynical or weary colleagues. We even provided the tools to help simplify planning and review of projects.
We focussed teams on six weeks of activity: one live session together with colleagues every week, drop-ins to dive into more localised challenges, and we created a clean, easy-to-use platform so that every video session and all the frameworks could be used the very next day with teams, in house. Every participant has access to that platform for life.
We also ran open events for leaders in specific areas by partnering with local events: across the African continent (AISA), in India (TAISI), across South East Asia (EduTECH Singapore) and Brazil.
We started with some open events in May 2020, to test our ideas and the appetite to think optimistically at a point when optimism felt far off. We launched a refine six-week programme in September 2020, and launched four weeks later with our first 60 participants from 24 countries and six continents, participating in weekly sessions with each other, and founding new alliances between themselves.
As the crisis works in waves, so, too, does demand, and we expect to run Version 3.0 in April/May 2021.
