THE NSL TRANSFORMATION LAB:
SEEING, CONNECTING TO, AND, DESIGNING
FOR OUR BEST POSSIBLE FUTURE

Imagining the impossible then – creating it:
We now have the possibility to truly transform our world, to be more
resilient, to be more relevant to us both personally and collectively,
socially cohesive, sustainable, economically vibrant and humane,
through the tools, capabilities, language and processes at our fingertips.

2 Days, 2 Spaces
20 people designing a
transformational
solution for their
organisation.


| www.no-straight-lines.com | transformation labs | 2012 | Designing for
transformation
is based upon
7 years of
07 research
From, healthcare, education,
car manufacturing, R&D,
banking, venture funding,
legal frameworks, NGO’s,
urban environments, and
even the largest organic
diary herd in Britain.

Each one of the
organisations that we have
studied have met the criteria
of the six principles of NSL.


2 days built around
6 principles

We respectfully expect you to be active
participants, and in that process you will:

[1] Learn about new tools, processes and language

[2] Learn how others have used those to solve complex, social, economic
and organisational problems

[3] Apply that insight to challenge your own world view and to be able
to rethink and approach problems to design for human centered
transformation.

HOW?
The Benefit: you will leave with a clearer understanding
of how you can address the challenges that you are facing
- the challenge being finding your epic win



Social Organisation
NEW

Economic

How do we design better for
society, our organisation, and be
commercially vibrant – all at the
same time?

Process
The Transformation LAB will run over 2 days.
The first day will be spent moving through the 6 principles.

Ambiguity Adaptiveness Openness Particiaptory Craftsmanship Epic
cultures & (Designing for
tools transformation)

We will explain their importance, and use real
stories of how other organisations have been
able to use these principles to face difficult/
challenging situations and use them to design
for transformation.


We explore each principle through real life
stories and then you engage, learn, and
practice with a Navigational Tool

Day 2:
Hacking the future

Assignment: individually go around the work we created
and see what touches you in terms of your own transition
and the transition of your organisation.



Individual / group reflection
then discussion on the HOW
question

The afternoon is all about design:

“The atmosphere was very interesting to
experience: no passengers, quiet
intensity, united by a common sense of
purpose and clear focus on what needs
to be done.”

What should your experience be like?


[1]
You will learn by doing,
you will
understand
by sharing.


[2]
You will be
challenged individually
and
collectively.


[3]
You will learn that when we accept that uncertainty,
unpredictability and interconnectedness are the norm you
can start to think, lead and learn in a different mode.

[4]
You will understand
that seeking epic wins is
not an impossible dream,
but practical
and
realistic.


What can I say?

“I started this message with – so, what can I say?
A beautiful, insightful, memorable experience
loaded with learning, strong cohesion and
(e)motion into a more meaningful future.”


“Together, and that means all of us present,
created our own experience that embodied all
of the six principles. So, a huge thank you for
undertaking the journey with us. We all learnt
profoundly”. Cees de Weerd programme leader


So we hope we have invited an invitation.
To get in touch if you would like to discuss a TRANSFORMATION LAB experience,
because as we know every great relationship starts with a conversation rather than a menu.
We can then talk about your quest and your challenge, we can discuss where would be an
appropriate place to come together, we can talk about the stuff that can make this be a truly
transformational experience and then we can talk commercial sense.


What we want from you

We are not looking for those that want to ‘play’ at the innovation game, tick the
box, and get back to ‘bizness as usual’. We want truly committed participants that
want to work out ‘how we can’ rather than talking about ‘why we cant.’

So if you; ‘want’, ‘desire’, and ‘demand’ a better way of working, organising and
living then we would love to hear from you.


Want to thrive in a non-linear world?
