Designing for Transformational change

A 1-day practical deep-dive to design for significant, fundamental and system-level impact using Systems Thinking, Theories of Change and Circular Design.
The past day has been incredibly exciting unpacking a whole range of systems and design thinking. There’s probably a lot more to learn, but the Masterclass was great for the leaders in our organisation to take back some of the key learnings back to their workplaces.
