Societal Transitions & Innovation Master Class
Implementing fundamental change within non-profit organizations is often challenging. Resistance is high, and support is limited.
During the three-day Societal Transitions & Innovation Master Class, you will practically apply the concepts to your own transition and innovation challenge. Interactive methods based on the Harvard Case Method are used, with specially developed case studies designed for this master class.
Contents
Day 1
On day 1, you gain insight into the complexity of sectors and systems of which organizations are a part. Using different perspectives, you learn why these systems are so persistent and which underlying structures and practices make societal innovation difficult and challenging.
Day 2
Day 2 focuses on renewing systems and the roles innovation can play in this process. Rules and mindsets are often so deeply embedded in everyday work that they hinder innovation. You learn how organizations balance established routines with new initiatives, and what is needed to create room for renewal within these tensions.
Day 3
On the third day, you work on designing and co-creating societal transitions. You identify the most promising leverage points, learn how to form effective coalitions with partners, and how to provide direction to transformative strategies and development pathways.
Time investment and results
The Societal Transitions & Innovation Master Class lasts three consecutive days. The program is designed to minimize preparation time. Expect a total preparation time of about 6 hours.
Upon completion of this master class, you will receive a certificate from TIAS.

Instructor's perspective
“In the master class, I provide you with an in-depth understanding of the resistance encountered during innovation projects—and, of course, how to overcome it. We take a practical approach: working with the participants' own innovation challenges and using the Harvard Case Method with case studies developed specifically for this master class.
By learning about innovation from within the practical context, you truly internalize the concept of innovation. The result is a completely different way of thinking, enabling you to initiate fundamental change within your own organization.”
