Landscape overview

The starting point for a change in educational programmes can come from different places in the landscape of higher education. The Landscape Overview tool helps you get an overview of the relevant factors affecting your change project.

The explanation of the Landscape Overview Instrument by researcher and lecturer Linda van Ooijen-van der Linden.

To use the instrument, you can ask the group to identify a starting arrow or ‘connection’ on the diagram, related to the change project. This ‘connection’ can be anywhere on  the diagram, for what is urgent, easy, or interesting to the group. Over the course of the discussion you can move from connection to connection, until all four quarters of the diagram are covered.
