CHANGE BY DESIGN CIRCLE
As the world indeed has become complex and ambiguous leadership development has become so much more than implementing the latest management paradigm.
Today leadership is about sensing and responding to the wake-up calls and the potential that emerge - and it is about the ability to facilitate people not knowing precisely where the process will get you.
Change by Design Circle is a programme designed to boost your courage and enable you to lead change in a sustainable and transformative way.
During the program, you will work intensively on how to design transformative processes, including mobilising and facilitating stakeholders and empowering yourself as a leader of change.
You will be presented with well-founded and research-based methods and tools that have enriched our practice and created remarkable transformations in our customers' organisations.
You can expect different learning environments where tangible and visual tools go hand in hand with science-based theories and where being and learning from nature is mixed with result-orientated action learning exercises you can apply in your organisation.

THE TARGET GROUP
THIS IS FOR YOU IF ...
Our offering targets leaders and specialists in the private and public sectors who want to learn how to design and lead sustainable transformations.
Change by Design Circle Program is for you if you:
-
are a leader of strategic initiatives, change manager, innovation partner, development specialist or a leader of a team/department with a focus on innovation or change
-
are involved in innovation targeting new or existing end-users or you are leading the innovation of internal processes, culture and structures
-
find yourself leading initiatives that challenge the status quo of the organisation and the people involved without having the strategic frameworks, tools and methods to address the challenges you meet
In other words, you are in a situation where your current capability is not sufficient in the complex change you are involved in – and you find yourself in need of new insights, new theories and new tools to boost your strategic impact.
The program includes:
-
A coached session, where we help you to clarify your personal intention for attending in Change by Design Circle
-
5 whole-day workshops (10-17) incl. lunch, tea/coffee etc.
-
Virtual check-ins in between workshops
-
Access to a digital platform with pre-read / pre-view material
Before each workshop, you will receive material to read or watch. You will be asked to carry out assignments to train your transformative skills in between workshops.
After completion of the program, you will have access to the Change by Design Circle Alumni offerings.
The total price is DKK 30,000 ex VAT
We will meet in beautiful surroundings in Copenhagen; either indoors in the city centre or in Rude Skov just north of the city.
The programme will be held in Danish.
We have selected a number of highly well-founded and research-based methods and tools that have enriched our practice and created remarkable transformations in our customers' organisations.

THE EFFECT
TESTIMONIALS
"This winter I took part in the course Change by Design Circle - and it was in many ways mindblowing in terms of framing, nuance and manifesting changes both privately, in organizations and in society. In fact, it went so far for me that I now will have a tattoo on my wrist - as a manifestation. Huge recommendations.”
Trine Demant | Chief Consultant | Region H
"I gained a much greater awareness of my way of acting and making changes with others in the organization and this - together with new theory and tools - has significantly strengthened me in my work."
Signe Utoft Andersen | Innovation Facilitator | NNE
"The course is very skillfully facilitated. We were constantly activated with exercises that, among other things, focused on how we are each authentic as leaders. A very safe space was created that, despite our very different starting points, did, that together we could wonder, explore and learn from each other."
Christian Ertmann-Christiansen | Business Developer | DBC
"The most important thing about the circle is that it - and the good people in it - have acted as an anchor to holding on to design thinking. Both as a personal tool for curiosity, as a leadership tool - and as a prism to see the world and its possibilities through."
Mille Østerlund | Head of Advisory Branch | Centre For Cyber Security
FACILITATORS
VIA DESIGN
Change by Design Circle is offered by ViaDesign founded by Ida Vesterdal and Sune Kjems in 2001.
We both have +20 years of experience in helping organizations innovate and change. We work in both the public and private sector and are used in various roles, as coaches of leaders responsible for change, as advisors in implementing innovation and change and as designers of new processes, models and structures that create change.
Our approach and toolbox is a combination of design thinking, cultural analysis, transformational management and indigenous wisdom traditions.
We have certifications in Design Thinking from Stanford d:school, Transformation Leadership from Being First, Foundations in Sustainability-Inspired Strategy + Applications in Strategic Sustainability from The Natural Step and Menneskets Vej from IndiLife.
We believe that leading transformatively is a necessity in order to solve the complex challenges we face in society and in our organisations. We know from experience that many are challenged with their strategic change or innovation initiatives because they underestimate what is needed or do not have the necessary tools.
Sometimes it's also about the leader pointing the arrow at himself and weeding out stuck notions about himself and others.
Via Design's motivation for Change by Design Circle is to strengthen managers, agents and specialists in succeeding with change and to create a safe space where they can learn, train, develop and grow together.
IDA VESTERDAL
Ida is a trusted advisor who helps managers, teams and organizations succeed with innovation and change.
Ida has worked for a number of years at Novo Nordisk, first as a specialist and project manager for user-driven innovation, and later as head of the Innovation facilitation department, which provided assistance to both the management and the many innovation projects.
Ida is a trained cultural analyst and has a very good eye for spotting the needs of the many involved in the change and seeing potential and solutions when challenges arise.
