Leading and navigating the 6 phases of Transition

By:

Dees van de Hoef and Jan Jacob Stam

This 4-day program is offered by invitation, either in-company or for groups.

About the art of leading and navigating through uncertainty and unlock hidden potential.

Why this program? Why now?

We are living in times where geopolitical shifts and the acceleration of change are pulling organizations into transitions whether they’re ready or not. The traditional playbook of planning and control is no longer enough.

The reality

Transition is driven by the evolutionary force – a future that is approaching us, rather than a planable future where we are in control. When leaders deny this evolutionary force, they find their familiar tools or approaches suddenly ineffective. When they say ‘yes’ to it, they discover options, possibilities and capabilities that seemed impossible before.

The 6 transitional phases (by Transitionstudio)

Every transition seems to follow a predictable yet mysterious pattern. This intensive will guide you through each phase:

🔔 Phase 1: the call

Recognizing the signals

✅ Phase 2: Saying yes

The courage to step into the unknown

🔓 Phase 3: Letting go & deconstructing

Releasing what once felt essential

🌑 Phase 4: The void

Leading and navigating when you have no map

➡️ Phase 5: Approaching the other side

Experimenting with possibilities

⚓ Phase 6: Anchoring

Preventing old patterns from reclaiming power

The journey between these two points requires numerous essential elements, generating natural opportunities for innovation, strategic pivots, and transformative discoveries that enhance our progress.

You’ll tune and calibrate yourself as a skilled instrument, attuned to the transition process, enabling you to catalyze transformation in the way that’s most authentically yours.

Dees and Jan Jacob:

Ready to go? We work with what is present and, above all, with what is needed, always in relation to potential. Your organization’s transition is calling. The question is: will you answer with mastering or just hope for the best? Transition is an adventure, not a journey, where you know where you’re heading. In an adventure, you discover possibilities you never imagined.
