Adaptive Design for Organizations

Rethink Problems. Redesign Solutions. Create Lasting Change.

In today's complex, rapidly evolving systems, it's easy to get stuck in a cycle of reactive problem-solving. This workshop provides a powerful framework to help your team move from simply managing symptoms to strategically addressing root causes. By blending Adaptive Leadership principles with Design Thinking, this training helps teams and organizations navigate uncertainty with clarity and purpose. Participants will co-create innovative solutions and develop a practical roadmap to move your organization forward with confidence.

The Adaptive Design Process

2.     Define & Diagnose: Reframe challenges through an adaptive leadership lens to identify leverage points.

3.     Ideate & Innovate: Generate creative solutions through collaborative design thinking.

4.     Prototype & Test: Design and test real interventions tailored to your organizational context.

5.     Implement & Iterate: Build momentum and create sustainable change with actionable next steps.
