Skills for thriving in today's workplaces

Transform’s Academy programme is a series of workshops delivered every few months, or as requested by clients, covering a variety of topics around the key areas impacting organisations.

Product and Service Design Leaders have a responsibility to design services for good – to ensure that the services we build are Net Positive – creating more good than harm across social, environmental and economic factors. But how to bake this informed decision making into every stage of the ideation and design process? 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 sustainable, inclusive design.
  • We'll share plenty of case studies and hands-on examples, to bring the theory to life.
  • We’ll work on your real problem statements in groups to generate ideas and implementation plans to take back to your team and organisation.

The half-day covers:

  • Unpacking sustainable services through theory.
  • A deep-dive into the attendees’ own services and key problem statements.
  • Interactive groups for attendees to explore how to make their services more sustainable.

Key takeaways:

  • 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 be 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:

  • The session is for product and service design leaders who are keen to build sustainable services.
