More than 30 years has passed since the foundational works of the late Trevor Slack and his colleagues first appeared using design archetypes to explore change dynamics amongst National Sport Organizations. The scale and nature of change that has continued to occur in the operating environment for these organizations over the last three decades has resulted in NSOs increasingly being required to be more professional, to manage more complex sport delivery systems, and strategically adapt and change to be effective. In that context, the authors explore the contemporary nature of NSO design archetypes in order to better understand the current and emerging dynamics of change for these organizations. This conceptual paper reviews the theory and utility of design archetypes in helping to understand organizational change dynamics in relation to NSOs, revisits the work of Slack and others in order to identify ways to improve the representation of design archetypes for contemporary NSOs, and presents an argument for a renewed emphasis on design archetypes as a fundamental driver for future research efforts to help understand change within NSOs, and indeed, other sport organizations.

自已故特雷弗·斯拉克（Trevor Slack）和他的同事们的基础作品问世以来已经过去了30多年，他们使用设计原型来探索国家体育组织中的变化动力。在过去的三十年中，这些组织在运营环境中持续发生的变革的规模和性质，导致越来越多的NSO需要更加专业，管理更复杂的运动交付系统，并在战略上进行适应和变革，有效。在这种情况下，作者探索了NSO设计原型的当代性质，以便更好地了解这些组织的当前和新兴变化动力。本概念文件回顾了设计原型的理论和实用性，以帮助了解与NSO相关的组织变革动态，
