Moreover, organisations can consider using the design thinking technique called Storyboarding, which helps to organize and communicate ideas by creating a visual representation of a story or process. In the context of change management, organizations can use storyboarding to create visual representations of the change process, and to explore different scenarios and potential solutions. For example, an organization can create a storyboard to visualize the different steps of a change management process, such as communicating the change, training employees, and monitoring progress. By visualizing the process in this way, organizations can identify potential challenges and opportunities, such as the need for additional resources or the need to address specific concerns of certain stakeholders. Additionally, storyboarding can be used to create visual representation of the problem, the change, the objectives and the plan to achieve them, by doing so, it helps to make the change process more accessible and understandable for the stakeholders, which can increase buy-in and acceptance of the changes among them. Mapping stakeholders Ministries/governmental bodies/local authorities: In many EU member states, national responsibilities and initiatives in adult education are often divided among various public bodies. Try to identify these bodies in your country and how they can help your organization. Higher education institutions: Universities are considered sources of knowledge. Despite the insights they can offer regarding the sector of adult education in general, they may accept a different kind of collaboration. Research hubs and student associations are also possible stakeholders within their micro-community. Businesses: Businesses are usually the desired destination of adult learners; therefore, they can give you vital information about the actual demands and needs of the labour market. You cannot exclude them from your network. Youth organizations/social groups/NGOs: These organizations often work with certain adult groups. They have a network of groups which often educate or train. Consultancy organizations/Career advising services/Employment offices : Career guidance is essential for the successful upskilling of low-skilled adults. They need expert consultations about their prospecting career paths. VET & adult education organizations: A horizontal collaboration may be an excellent way for exchanging practices or strengthening your voice and raising essential issues, such as under-funding from the government. Representation is critical for a stronger social presence of adult education organizations.
