In this short session, we will familiarize your managers with the format, purpose, learning objectives, requirements and framework, and establish the common ground rules for the upcoming learning journey.

In the transparency phase, you and your team prepare and work out the first three steps on your regenerative transformation:

• How do we want to approach the journey?
• Why and for what do we want to embark on this journey?
• What do we want to develop and redesign?

In the second phase, the journey to a new level of attitude and behaviour begins. In this phase, many things will begin to falter, tensions will arise that will lead to new clarity. The transcendence phase will unleash creativity and potential:

• Where do we stand?
• Where do we come from?
• Where do we come from – and where do we want to go?
• Where do we want to go?
• What tensions do we recognize?
• Realization of the interventions

Like yin and yang, transcendence and immanence are two sides of the same coin. They are opposites, but should always be understood as one. The third phase is about internalising the developments from phase 2 (transcendence) and integrating them harmoniously into the everyday life of the company:

• Reflection and resonance
• Redirecting restraining forces
• What we have learnt
• Celebrate successes

An Impact Business Design Workshop is a structured process to co-creatively enable the transformation to a regenerative economy. One advantage for managers is the input from different perspectives – including customers and users – and thus a higher chance of success for the new business model. In addition, a structured and well-moderated process increases the speed of innovation. Possible solutions to problems are found more quickly through co-creation and can be tested immediately. These iterative steps ensure prompt experience and faster results.

In an impact business design workshop, various methods and tools are used in three phases. You may be familiar with some of the methods and tools from lean management, design thinking, business model design, circular economy or other frameworks. We have developed and optimized the process behind them.

Managers can increase their future viability and innovative strength by establishing a new way of thinking: Solutions to intrinsic, complex problems are no longer found in one department, but through the co-creative collaboration of people from a wide range of disciplines within and outside the company. This form of co-creative collaboration is forward-looking, but requires an open culture. Managers who take part in an Impact Business Design workshop experience the power of this culture and receive tools to firmly anchor this capacity for regenerative innovation within the organization.

Collaboration and exchange between all participants plays a crucial role in an Impact Business Design Workshop. All of the selected methods, tools and templates ultimately serve to enable collaboration without disruption and in a protected environment. As it is not a training course but a workshop, all participants are very actively involved in the process.

Impact Business Design workshops are not focussed on a specific industry, but can be extremely effective in all industries. All companies are experiencing changing framework conditions and the transition to a regenerative, sustainable and sustainable economy.

All people who have a special perspective on the topic should take part in an Impact Business Design Workshop. In other words, individuals from different departments instead of several people from the same department. Meaningful diversity is crucial, including external stakeholders. Completely new ideas are born from this diversity.

It is not crucial, or even a hindrance, to consider the hierarchical status of individuals. In our workshops, we create an atmosphere of dialogue “at eye level” that integrates all diverse perspectives.

Each training or program is developed to meet the specific requirements of your company. This begins with a co-creation, concept phase, iterative improvements and a roll-out. We don’t do anything “off the shelf”, but immerse ourselves deeply in your culture and structure. In this way, our work becomes part of your organizational development.

All of the trainers in our community have their own leadership experience, have all completed in-depth external coaching and/or trainer education and have also taken part in our internal train-the-trainer programs.
