The “Transformation Tasks” canvas builds on the groundwork done with the “Transformation Story” canvas. From the challenges identified there, you can use this canvas to determine the necessary tasks for your transformation governance: Where do priorities need to be set, and how can the transformation be approached step by step? Consider how you can achieve this:
Reactualize: What gives you strength and confidence? How can you reconnect with your values and DNA?
1. Reflect: What binds and holds us? How can we recognize this and let go of it?
2. Refocus: Question your ongoing projects and commitments. How can we detach from them?
3. Refolutionize: Which power structures are blocking progress? How can we shake them off, transform, or limit them?
Reform: How can we overcome the obstacles standing in our way as we move forward?
4. Reconstitute: During the transition period: How can we begin to reshape our attitudes and actions?
5. Reorient: What do we need to stay on track? How can we orient and sustain ourselves during the transition phase?
6. Repersonalize: Are we organized correctly? How can we renew ourselves and clarify roles and responsibilities?
7. Recode: How can we collaboratively develop, discuss, review, and establish clear “Do’s” and “Don’ts” that embody and guide the transformation? How can we resist the temptations of crisis and the past?
Reconstitutionalize: What stands in the way of a fresh start? How can the transition to the new constitution be solidified?
8. Redistribute: How can everyone fairly participate in the new order? How can we prevent toxic power dynamics?
9. Regenerate: What do we need to settle into the new state? How can we make the renewal tangible and enjoyable?
Revalidieren: Revitalize: What rituals of regeneration can strengthen the ongoing transformation? And how can we celebrate them?
10. Revalidate: How can we regularly review and renew our new constitution, learning from it to improve?
Once again, there are analogies that you can gradually bring into play. Take your time. In mythology, the Exodus took 40 years, and the process of arrival and acceptance continues to this day. Let us learn from this ancient myth of embarking on a journey toward a good new order: How can we keep the renewal process alive in a way that makes learning enjoyable? The goal is not to be better but to do things better.

You can also cut out matching analogy cards that can serve as a guide when transferring meanings—helping you determine which symbol in your reality corresponds to what. Don’t let it confuse you. Even though the following terms reference the religiously charged Exodus myth, they contain an eternal core. In the sense of: "Myths do not disappear; only their names change" (Roland Barthes: Mythologies, 1957). In other words, myths remain relevant even in modern society; only their form changes.
