Adaptive Design Thinking
Leading in fast-moving environments, you need tools that are straightforward and accessible and at the same time produce strategic outcomes. Learn with us how to draw on the rigor of Adaptive Leadership combined with the practical wisdom of Design Thinking to deliver ambitious change in your work and your organisation
Overview
This course will ground you in the practice of Adaptive Design Thinking, and enable you to apply it to your toughest challenges, all as part of a supportive, challenging and inspiring cohort all interested in making change stick.
Achieving real change on complex challenges in tough contexts takes deep analysis, trusting relationships, and innovation. These elements are hard to achieve under pressure. Adaptive Design Thinking decodes strategic change, offering clear and achievable steps through which we cannot fail to begin to create new connections and opportunities.
Adaptive Leadership and Design Thinking are two of the current most relevant approaches to change leadership. Each developed over more than 30 years, they guide us in what it takes to alter mindsets and behaviours for good. Adaptive Leadership looks at the values, loyalties and potential losses that stand between the realities and the aspirations of groups of all size and type. Design Thinking invites its practitioners to apply a ‘design’ attitude to all kind of challenge. Both are profoundly human and profoundly realistic. Adaptive Design Thinking is the powerful combination of the two, in which adaptations to new realities can be driven through iterative design. It makes Adaptive Leadership more practical, Design Thinking more impactful, and organisations more agile, creative and future-ready.
