From ‘THEM’ to ‘ME’ – What if we used DT tools for personal leadership?

You are in for a treat. We have a very special workshop for you next week! How do people in organisations build the resilience to deal with innovation, and therefore change? Behavioural change starts with a higher knowledge of the self. Flexible organisations are built on resilient people. This workshop is to explore the use of DT as a future methodology for HR.

‘Business innovation’ and ‘self innovation’ are much alike: both are concerned with successfully adapting to change. I believe the future of service design will happen in organisations in which individuals have developed what I call self innovation: a creative way of developing personal leadership.

When faced with a serious health crisis, I discovered that the recovery process of silence, exploration, experiment showed a 1 on 1 match with the DT process. My conclusion was that the wisdom for coping with change is already inside of us. Also, in my view, there is one crucial phase lacking in the current DT model…

In this workshop we will put ourselves at the centre of the design challenge. What happens if we view ourselves as ’the customer’ and our life as the ‘service’ to design?

Location
Once again we are proud and very happy to announce that IJsfontein will host our workshop. IJsfontein designs and develops playing (digital) learning from the conviction that people are naturally curious and intrinsically motivated to develop themselves. It varies from a serious game for staff training, interactive experiences for museums or a cross-platform digital method for primary. Check them out at https://www.ijsfontein.nl/en/
