According to the Upside-Down Organization (UDO) (n.d.), "transformational education is the development of an intentional, aligned and integrated culture that radiate the beliefs, values and life skills children and youths require to be successful." It is believed that education of such nature has a philosophical bearing to the concept, because it promotes a thinking approach for adults that leads to successful outcomes for children and youths. Moreover, it provides leaders with a blueprint for recognizing, building, and upholding a transformational culture (UDO n.d.). Education in its entirety is all about transformation. However, such transformation should serve as a springboard for personal growth and development, innovation, and capacity to influence positive and lasting changes in society. Therefore, it should be finetuned in a way that inculcate competencies that have transmuting properties, in transcending the normal way of thinking, or doing business. On this note, transformational competencies can be defined as inclusive development and nurturing of skills, capabilities, or capacities that promote innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship for sustainable growth and development.
