What this publication covers
Proposes transition-readiness profiles to identify where design can intervene in changing systems. The model helps anticipate dynamics, value conflicts, and possible contributions from each organization, informing decisions about how to accelerate sustainable transitions.
How this reference can help
Use it to turn knowledge about implementation and organizational change into a concrete activity or decision.

level Transition Management Framework (Loorbach, 2007) - Provides a structure to what frontrunners are doing in transitions, but remains at an abstract level - Provides a process of facilitating and accelerating towards sustainability transitions Multi-Phase Model (Rotmans et al., 2001) - Illustrates phases of change in a transition in an abstract way Organization Innovation Organizational Identity (Gilmore & Pine, 2007) - Determines a business’s identity: Essence of enterprise, Nature of offerings, Effects of heritage, Sense of purpose, and Body of values Sustainable Business model (Bocken, Short, Rana, & Evans, 2013) - Considers changes to the individual organization from its perspective. Value Framework; Value Flow Model (den Ouden, 2012) - Considers value on multiple levels and perspectives in a way that reflects design skills (focus on value) - Maps system/business model-as-is and uses values as a way to reveal innovation opportunities - Flow model maps numerous elements money, knowledge etc., to assess the system-as-is to reveal possible design opportunities Description of the Transition Readiness Profiles The objective of the Transition Readiness Profiles is to explore where there are possibilities to intervene when designing in transitions by anticipating the system dynamics and identifying value conflicts that hinder various organization from entering or moving with the transition. Additionally, it supports understanding what one organization can bring forward to foster the transition relative to others. The key benefit of the TRPs is that it helps designers anticipate future system dynamics and foresee how design may accelerate the transition. Suppose there is a vision for a transition direction, and a designer wants to accelerate the transition by transfor...
