The Design of Transformation

The Design of Transformation
What if change wasn’t something we endured but something we could design?

In this bold and inspiring talk, transformation designer Carola Verschoor invites audiences to rethink change not as chaos to control, but as a potential to creatively shape. Drawing on over 30 years of cross-sector, cross-cultural experience, she weaves together systems thinking, strategic foresight, and the craft of design to reveal how lasting transformation is intentional, embodied, and co-created.

Through vivid stories, deep insights, and radical questions, Carola equips leaders, makers, and meaning-seekers with new ways of navigating uncertainty and complexity.

This isn’t innovation-as-usual. It’s a call to redesign the way we change and unleash transformational (r)evolutions by design. Carola inspires us to stop reacting, and instead start designing the futures we all long for.

Transforming Our Intelligence

This transformational keynote by designer and author Carola Verschoor, will explore the liberating power of AI to expand human creativity, pushing the boundaries of innovation through transformation design.

Intelligence is the ability to learn, understand, and apply knowledge and skills to solve problems, adapt to new situations, think critically, and make decisions. It encompasses various forms and it has become critical to help us navigate complex problems. But how might we leverage all these forms of intelligence through AI?

We’ll dive into how imagination, accelerated by AI, can unlock new possibilities and empower us to shape a future where technology and human ingenuity work in tandem.
