New Vision Work
A 2 DAY WORKSHOP to land, share & celebrate together all work and accomplishments to date and then springboard & feed-forward to develop a shared vision and strategy for the next steps with full alignment, commitment, and direction towards it.
Program Overview
As we approach the new ‘generational’ cycle of change in education, we have never faced greater emerging intrinsic and extrinsic factors that shape the way we learn, teach, and perform. We cannot ignore the need for agile and adaptive learning, leaders, teachers, students & educational institutions.
This Agility requires a learning organisation, culture, and leadership strategy that’s capable and willing to explore, sense and adapt to the emerging systemic (external & internal) patterns, cause and effect relationships and to take their responsibility to set the direction and lead society towards the future.
“A VISION HELPS CLARIFY THE DIRECTION, DISCUSSION, DECISIONS & DELIVERABLES, FOR AN ORGANISATON TO ALIGN, MOVE & ADAPT”
A vision can set us on a trajectory and support us in the exploration of our unknown and known unknowns. It’s the CALL TO ADVENTURE to challenge, test and adapt our current practices, principles, and priorities for a bigger and longer-term purpose than any one persons or institutions.
For change to succeed, we need a strong, clear, inspirational, meaningful, and inviting vision for all leaders & stakeholders to lead from and towards
Content
You will co-create, collaborate, shift, experiment and align around a new vision, values, and principles towards a strategic and inspirational change. And, to imagine possible futures that will help create a vision and ideas for your full learning system that will be relevant in the long term & ready to inspire future programmes, teachers & students towards systemic change!
The program delivers the 3 core disciplines for leading into the future:
– VISION WORK, ambition & commitment.
– VISION BACK CASTING for a strategic systemic change & development plan.
– Preparing for COMPLEXITY, explore cause & effect and blind spots.
The course will aim to introduce and practice these concepts and their relevance to your organizational development (internal) and its responsibility to play a leading role in the development and growth of your learners, their professions & industry, culture, and society on a local & national level (external)
The primary methods we will explore are:
Design Thinking Methods, Co-creating vison statements & ownership, Pre-jecting and creating team alliances; Drexler/Sibbet team performance model; Vision back-casting, principles & priorities, (vision, values, methods, obstacles & measurement) Dave Snowden’s Cynefin model & the leader’s framework for decision making; the 4 player leadership model, Blind spots and the Rabbit hole method, leading for Vision driven transformation & organizations styles & frameworks.
The workshop needs people who are open to explore and experiment and be inspired by new processes, mindsets, people, and perspectives to develop their role within their organization to become a better leader, follower, and collaborator towards self & systems Actualisation.

Testimonials
“Simon came and worked with the management team and all faculty directors of the school, on developing our vision and ideology for our school-wide future-proof educational programme. We shared and explored what internal & external developments in the industry and the education are happening and how do we respond to those? This set the foundation and mood for the days and in fact, the entire project.”
Raimund Bellinghausen– Program Director Steinbeis SM
”KaosPilot methods are such an appropriate way to nurture visions and to gain more tools to get hands on with it.
Simon also shared his observations on who we are as a team and how we can proceed in becoming this significant school that we do believe in. I think we made a major step in really working together on formulating an inspiring, open vision, mission and loads of practical questions to guide us
Jan Zoet Algemeen directeur Hogeschool voor de Kunsten
“I was one of the participants from the ATD, when we worked towards our new vision & mission statement under Simon’ guidance, in Amsterdam. ”If we trust that art matters, If we can learn from everyone, If we think artists contribute to shape the world, How will we act?” I still get goosebumps when I read it, and the process towards it is one of the magical moments I cherish as a Faculty Director.”
Barbara Van Lindt managing Director DasArts
