CurrentShoshin is a multidisciplinary design- and innovation firm for the complex public & medical domain. It is our mission to help society in innovating in complex matters. ‘Shoshin’ refers to the “beginner’s mind” in the Zentradition: to look at and experience something as if you see and experience it for the first time. With this open mind we can find new perspectives, co-design solutions and make sure the adoption of the users and professionals is realized. We are specialized in mental healthcare (youth and adult) and our most common challenge is waiting time. We work in the transition from curative to preventive care (a.o. lifestyle). The essential challenge is to iteratively redesign current social institutions: starting with what is possible now and building towards the future. Waiting times are a specifically interesting topic that can stimulate the step towards preventive care.In the domain of youth (mental) health services (Jeugdzorg) we are national ambassador against waiting times for the Ondersteuningsteam Zorg voor de Jeugd (OZJ), working also for the Ministry of Health and the national association for municipalties (VNG)In adult mental health we are scaling up our best practice of the innovative lifestyle clinic.We have won several awards, such as the - 'Koploperinitiatief in de zorg' for elite innovation in healhcare (Actie-leernetwerk, by the Ministry of Health)- Bronze awards for Learning Professional of the Year by the Learning & Performance Institute (LPI, London)- VGZ Good Practice (health insurer) for exemplary innovation
