Unlock human-centered leadership for sustainable
transformation within 20 minutes, anywhere, anytime.
Since 2010, we have been building, testing, and validating the HOST DesignToolkit—a comprehensive, flexible, and practical collection of validated exercises, practices, and meta-skills for designing, facilitating, and guiding human-centered transformation across individuals, teams, organizations, and societies, in offline, remote, and hybrid settings. We work with the freedom within a frame principles:
Rather than prescribing a single methodology, the HOST DesignToolkit offers a rich repertoire of practices and designs that can be adapted to the unique needs of individuals, teams, organizations, and communities.
How we most effectively help you, other HOST practitioners, and ourselves, to scale your people-business-societal impact is by:
Measuring to scale your People-Business-Societal Impact by also applying the HOST practices and design as an action-based research tool in which we, together with hundreds of practitioners and participants, actively collect real human stories and data to:
Get inspired by the HOST Impact Stories from practitioners and their participants
around the world — across industries, sectors, generations, and cultures.
Put the HOST DesignToolkit into practice during your next ‘Moment That Matters’ and experience its impact—for yourself and for the people, groups, and teams you work with.
Our premise? A meaningful stretch beyond the comfort zone—
one that benefits people, businesses, and societies!
The HOST DesignToolkit is a human-centered change design system that helps practitioners, leaders, consultants, facilitators, coaches, and HR professionals design, facilitate, and scale sustainable people-business-societal and system change.
It combines a structured and modular process, practical tools, facilitation frameworks, change leadership models, dialogue practices, and measurement instruments into one integrated approach.
Rather than offering another change model, HOST provides a way of working that helps people navigate complexity, uncertainty, transitions, and transformation in a more human and sustainable way.
HOST is designed for people who influence change, including:
You do not need to be an experienced facilitator to start using HOST, although experienced practitioners often find it helps them deepen and structure their existing practice.
Many frameworks explain what change is.
HOST focuses on how to design and facilitate change in practice, while staying authentic and strengthen your human capabilities.
The toolkit integrates:
Rather than introducing another standalone methodology, HOST helps connect and operationalize— lever— concepts that many practitioners already know.
Both.
HOST can be applied as a complete design philosophy and methodology, but it is also designed to complement existing approaches.
Many practitioners integrate HOST with:
HOST is intended to strengthen and enrich existing practices rather than replace them.
The toolkit includes a range of practical resources, such as:
The specific contents may evolve over time as the toolkit continues to develop.
Yes.
One of the primary purposes of HOST is helping practitioners design meaningful interventions that create engagement, ownership, learning, and sustainable behavioral change.
Many users apply HOST when designing:
Most practitioners can begin using parts of HOST immediately.
Simple tools, dialogue formats, and facilitation practices can often be applied within days.
Developing mastery of the HOST mindset and design philosophy takes longer and grows through practice, experimentation, reflection, and application.
No toolkit can guarantee results in every context.
The effectiveness of HOST depends on factors such as:
HOST provides a structure and set of tools that increase the likelihood of meaningful engagement and sustainable change, but outcomes ultimately depend on how they are applied.
No.
HOST can be applied at multiple levels:
Many practitioners start with a single team or project before scaling the approach more broadly.
HOST includes measurement and reflection practices that help practitioners gather ongoing feedback and evaluate progress.
The HOST Measure-to-Scale-Impact Tool supports:
The goal is not measurement for compliance, but measurement that informs learning and action.
The Organization-wide 5 Directions of Leadership Feedback Tool enables Certified & Licensed Practitioners to contribute to wellbeing and resilience, ongoing innovation and organization-agility, and performance on the ESG’s.
HOST is designed to be accessible to leaders and practitioners who do not identify as facilitators.
The toolkit provides structure, guidance, language, and practical tools that help people facilitate more confidently.
At the same time, professional facilitators often find sufficient depth to significantly expand their practice.
Results vary depending on context.
Users commonly report:
HOST does not promise quick fixes. It supports the long-term development of capabilities that contribute to sustainable and systemic change.
That is a healthy starting point.
HOST encourages critical thinking rather than blind adoption.
We believe every methodology has limitations, including HOST. We encourage practitioners to test, adapt, and evaluate what works in their own context.
The goal is not to create dependency on a framework, but to help people become more capable, reflective, creative, and effective change practitioners.
Depending on the offering, support may include:
Specific support options depend on the version of the HOST offering you purchase.
HOST may be a strong fit if you:
HOST may not be the right fit if you are looking for a quick fix, a rigid step-by-step formula, or a one-size-fits-all solution.
When you subscribe, you gain immediate access to the HOST DesignToolkit and its growing collection of frameworks, models, canvases, facilitation tools, exercises, guides, and learning resources.
The toolkit is designed to support both immediate application and long-term development. Many members start using individual tools right away, while gradually deepening their understanding of the HOST philosophy and approach over time.
As the toolkit evolves, new content, tools, and resources may be added to help practitioners continue learning and growing.
The goal is not simply to provide access to tools, but to support your ongoing journey as a human-centered leader, facilitator, consultant, or change practitioner.
Your subscription provides lifetime access to the HOST DesignToolkit, including future updates and additions.
Lifetime access means you will retain access for as long as HOST2Transform continues to operate and maintain the platform.
We believe meaningful development happens over years, not weeks. The toolkit is therefore designed as a long-term resource that practitioners can return to throughout their professional and personal development journey.
We want people to join because they genuinely believe HOST can support their work—not because they feel pressured to stay.
If you explore the toolkit and determine it is not the right fit for your needs, you can request a full refund within 30 days of your purchase.
We encourage you to actively engage with the content during this period so you can make an informed decision about its value and relevance to your context.
Our goal is to create long-term relationships built on trust, transparency, and mutual value.
At HOST, we believe sustainable change starts with individuals but does not end there.
The Scale Impact philosophy recognizes that every meaningful change creates ripple effects across multiple levels:
Self → Team → Organization → Society → Planet
When you develop your own leadership, facilitation, and change capabilities, you increase your ability to positively influence the people around you. Better conversations can lead to stronger teams. Stronger teams can contribute to healthier organizations. Healthier organizations can create positive outcomes for communities, society, and ultimately the world around us.
Scale Impact is therefore not about growth for growth’s sake. It is about creating positive and responsible influence that extends beyond individual success.
Next to that, HOST reinvests their profit in ESG initiatives and (start-up) businesses. By this we create even a larger Win-Win-Win-Win ripple effect.
Every organization influences society through its decisions, behaviors, products, services, and relationships. By helping leaders and organizations become more human-centered, responsible, and adaptive, HOST aims to contribute to healthier systems that create positive social and environmental impact.
We do not claim that using HOST alone will change the world. Rather, we believe that thousands of people making better decisions, having better conversations, and creating healthier organizations can collectively contribute to meaningful and lasting change
The HOST formula is applied as a tool for behavioral change, adopting a growth mindset, psychological safety, shared leadership and ownership to help humanize and transform HR, Legal, Banking & Insurance, HealthCare, Education, Government and more, that varies from start-& scale-ups, SME’s, Fortune 500 organizations, and Big 4 Consultancies.
