Chapter events - Switzerland

We are excited to invite you to the webinar “Strategic Design framework to navigate complex ecosystems” which will present a framework to tackle complexity in Service Design projects. In this webinar you’ll discover the beta version of a new framework to navigate complex environments.

A hands-on webinar format

This webinar is made of three parts

  • Talk: a presentation of the structure of the framework and how to use it in your Service Design practice
  • Workshop: hands-on time with the framework
  • Q&A: ask your questions to the creators of the framework and share your feedback


We will have a presentation, a workshop, and a discussion. 

About the framework

This framework was co-created by Kevin Richard, Daiana Zavate, Krasi Bozhinkova.


The framework uses metaphors which interconnect and help draw a map of realities & possibilities, and highlight relationships to foster new narratives.


This is a tool to help organisations do either diagnosis or prospective work about a current situation and/or a potential challenge/problem. The aim is to enable organisations to find direction, develop a portfolio of strategies, or simply make better decisions.


It is built around 4 main concepts:

  1. Oceans – The type of environment(s) the organisation is navigating in (eg. market);
  2. Archetypes – The type of organisational behaviours and related heuristics;
  3. Landscape – The type of contextual structures that exist within/around the organisation and provide capabilities and constraints;
  4. Monsters – The type of challenges and obstacles.

Expected outcomes:

This webinar and framework can help to:

  • better understand a current situation;
  • better understand a potential challenge/problem;
  • figure out a direction;
  • create strategies;
  • make better decisions.
