Hello, welcome to Transform Academy: Designing Sustainable Services
Transform’s Academy programme is a series of workshops delivered every few months, covering a variety of topics around the key areas impacting organisations.
Terms like Sustainability and Net-Zero have become so ingrained in our vocabularies nowadays that it's likely to pop up in daily conversation. But what exactly does it mean? In a world where environmental, social and economic impact can no longer be ignored, how can we do our part in building sustainable services? Join our 'Transform Academy: Designing Sustainable Services' to learn all about it.
What to expect
In this session:
- We'll give you an introduction to Net Positive Thinking and our newly crafted Transformational Design, as well as Sustainability and Inclusivity in the design space.
- We'll present plenty of case studies and hands-on examples, to bring the theory to life.
- We'll do a causal loop exercise with every attendee to explore how to make their service more sustainable.
The half-day covers:
- Unpacking sustainable services through theory.
- A deep-dive into the attendees’ very own services.
- An interactive session for the attendees to explore how to make their services more sustainable.
Key take aways:
- An understanding of a Net Positive approach to services – generating measurable social and environmental benefits for citizens.
- An understanding of Sustainable, Inclusive Design techniques and how they can practically be applied in projects.
- The ability to identify negative social and environmental patterns/reinforcing loops in services, and define potential positive interventions to address these.
- How to create a programme of optimisations and interventions to improve a service’s environmental and social impact.
Target audience:
