Fundamentals of Transition Engineering - Virtual Learning
This Fundamentals of Transition Engineering training course provides tools to enable delegates to make the best strategic business decisions to adapt to the changing forward operating environment. It will enable delegates to define management systems that will give them better information about the system dynamics of their organisations and better information about foreseeable changes in the operating environment. It will enable them to identify organisational risks associated with “business as usual”, and to make better strategic decisions about changing the forward direction of the organisation.
All wise business leaders recognise “that change is needed” and they know there are “un-sustainability” risks but the direct links with business success may be unclear. This Fundamentals of Transition Engineering training course will enable delegates to decide “what change is needed” based on a robust, data-based understanding of their business and how it is impacted by any external change. This will give delegates a robust understanding of which changes and technologies should be a part of long term corporate strategy, and which are just “green window dressing”. The future will not look like the past, this training course will provide delegates organisations with the capacity to ensure the future includes long term prosperity and resilience to external changes.
This Gulf Rowad Fundamentals of Transition Engineering training course will highlight:
How to understand System Dynamics – How our organisation interacts with external change
Key challenges, risks and future scenarios
Fundamentals of the “Transition Engineering and Innovation” Approach
Tools to help decision making about future direction and strategic change
How to implement strategic change using day to day management programmes

Course Methodology
This Fundamentals of Transition Engineering training course includes various techniques to maximise understanding, retention and ability to apply the learning, including a course manual, suggested reading, presentations, individual and group exercises, video and group discussion.
This training course will be interactive and will challenge delegates to “think differently” about “sustainability” and about the strategic direction of their organisation. The tutor will guide delegates to apply the learning, and their understanding of their own organisations, to synthesize viable solutions to foreseeable problems.
