What is the Transformation Leadership Programme?

As today’s world experiences unprecedented shifts, leaders must do more than adapt. They must actively shape transformations. At the Digital Society School, we put people at the center of transformations.

Thus, we invite leaders to develop future-proof leadership competencies in a 22-week, facilitated and learning-by-doing program. As a transformation owner, you will learn on the job while guiding a multidisciplinary and intercultural design team to address a real transformation challenge. You will learn, create, and grow together with your team to deliver impact-driven solutions rooted in Sustainable Development Goals.

You will lead your team in exploring a complex, real-world challenge. You will gain context around the transformation you envision through research, design, and prototyping possible solutions. You will apply design methods to co-create and experiment in an iterative learning process.

What can you learn?

FACILITATE TRANSFORMATION DESIGN PROCESS

You will learn to create and hold a safe space for experimentation and learning around transformation. You will harness your team’s unique talents and perspectives, encouraging collaboration. You will build a shared language between your team, partners, and stakeholders.

LEVERAGE DIVERSITY

Diversity is a fundamental aspect of our team-building approach. Our trainees hail from every corner of the globe. We need different perspectives to be able to solve complex societal problems. You will learn to foster a collaborative, inclusive, and compassionate environment to leverage individual strengths and embrace the power of diversity.

In this program, we foster a culture of experimentation, embracing calculated risks, learning from failures, and pivoting towards success. To achieve this, you will learn key processes such as Scrum, Systems Design, and Design Thinking.
