Understanding socio-technical transitions, let alone managing them, is complicated. This is especially the case for many practitioners, who are commonly not well-versed in the language of transition studies but deal with transition problems on a daily basis. To make the academic knowledge on socio-technical transitions available to practitioners, we introduce the transition model canvas (TMC) as a tool for systematically mapping the key elements, and their interactions, of socio-technical transitions. Based on the business model canvas (BMC) from entrepreneurship and the multi-level perspective (MLP) from transition studies, the TMC is an accessible tool that allows transition practitioners, students, and educators to evaluate and accelerate socio-technical transitions. The proposed canvas also helps further diffuse transition thinking into society and improve the quality of socio-technical policymaking and strategy development.

了解社会技术过渡，更不用说管理过渡了，这很复杂。对于许多从业者来说尤其如此，他们通常不熟悉过渡研究的语言，但每天都要处理过渡问题。为了使从业人员可以获得有关社会技术转型的学术知识，我们引入了过渡模型画布（TMC），作为系统地绘制社会技术转型的关键要素及其相互作用的工具。基于企业家精神的业务模型画布（BMC）和过渡研究的多层次视角（MLP），TMC是一种可访问的工具，允许过渡从业者，学生和教育工作者评估和加速社会技术的过渡。
