Welcome to Module 4 of the biobased construction training.
_____________________________________________________________________________
As an architect, you are at the heart of the design and construction process. The more knowledge you have, the easier it becomes to take on that central, guiding role.
In this module, you will learn what change management entails, how to define a focus that suits your organization, and how to engage your team in upcoming challenges and opportunities.
Learning objectives
In this module, you will explore how to guide the transformation of your own firm by:
Turning newly gained knowledge and enthusiasm into concrete transition plans within your organization.
Learning how to design change processes that fit your firm’s workflow and culture by choosing an approach aligned with your team and way of working.
You will see examples of successful transition processes and begin developing a practical action plan tailored to your own architectural practice.
Time: ± 45 minutes.
Target audience: Architects and designers.
Module 4 – Internal Office Organization
In this module, you will develop your own transition plan. You will translate the knowledge gained into concrete goals and actions for your practice in the coming period.
This module introduces the organizational aspects of integrating biobased design within an architectural practice.
Participants will explore how office structures, workflows, and roles can support the adoption of biobased approaches. The session emphasizes strategies for aligning teams, processes, and knowledge management to successfully implement sustainable practices across projects.
This module focuses on the role of leadership in guiding an architectural firm through the transition to biobased design.
Participants will learn how to inspire, organize, and lead teams toward sustainable practices. The session covers strategies for managing change, setting a clear vision, and embedding biobased principles into the firm’s culture and project workflows.
This module introduces continuous improvement (Kaizen) and scenario planning as tools for managing the transition to biobased design.
Participants will learn how to apply iterative improvement processes within their practice and anticipate future challenges and opportunities. The session provides strategies for proactive decision-making, risk management, and aligning the firm’s operations with sustainable, long-term goals.
