As a designer or transition facilitator, you work at the core of complex systems. Your role extends beyond design alone. It requires guiding processes, connecting perspectives and creating collaboration. What skills are needed for this and how do you develop them?

The ‘Navigating through Complexity’ card set offers a practical way for a facilitator or designer to consciously reflect on your role and skills within complex projects and offers concrete starting points for further growth. Navigating through Complexity can be used for self-evaluation, peer-evaluation and team-evaluation.

A proven method in transition processes

The map set was launched on February 11, 2025 during the ESCalator “Becoming a Transition Facilitator?”, where 40 participants plotted their skills and exchanged experiences. The method was developed by Fundamentals Academy and The Hague University of Applied Sciences, within Future Proof Labs, a research project of the Innovation Networks Research Group of The Hague University of Applied Sciences. The method is used in education and practice.
