Change

From Now to New

Welcome to Impetus3

You can fight it, embrace it, contribute to it or ignore it… but in business, change is constant.

In business, the effects of changing the way we work can be anything from incremental to transformational. Change can arise like a flash of insight from inspired staff, or initiated by facilitated ‘thinking’ aimed at solving problems or exploring possibilities. Managing change opens the opportunity to challenge old habits, introduce new ideas, and foster end-to-end innovation while promoting operational excellence.

The Impetus3 approach can both inspire and harness ideas. We guide major organizations through proactive or reactive – but always productive – change using proven strategic and thoughtful methods.

Business is Personal. One key Impetus3 cornerstone principle is to draw on (and draw out) the expertise, experience, and biases from your teams to stimulate the connections, conversations, analysis, and debate… that lead to action.

Impetus3 is your agent of change. Think. Know. Prove™ is our signature method and it has generated success stories that our clients are excited to share.

A change arc can take many forms, from incremental tweaks to meteoric transformations.

* W.A.T. – Wild A$$ Thinking

 

Accelerate change with your own organizational talent.

When executives at large organizations need strategy to execute:

  • Initiate thoughtful, proactive thinking involving change.
  • Craft a new Story that leads to ‘target state’ change.
  • Explore steps required to shift operational state from ‘vision to reality’.
  • Provide the driving force to maintain or increase momentum.
  • Align external innovation tension and internal competency towards the ‘future of work’ envisioned for your organization.
  • Implement continuous improvement and operational excellence capabilities.
  • Redesign cross-team interaction models; from meeting mechanics, decision authorities, governance, etc.
  • Diagnose root causes for complacency and generate bias for action through short improvement sessions known as Kaizen.

Then, we may be your agent of change.

Impetus3 methods and accelerators provide fuel and direction for organizational innovation, evolution, revolution and any other applicable synonym for… change.

Melanie’s ability to translate the conceptual into the tangible was hugely valuable to our strategic planning process. Non nonsense mannerisms, Language that is accessible. She is approachable and Melanie can find a sweet spot with a diverse, inclusive set of stakeholders.

Melanie was by my side through the process and had the integrity to push back when she thought that what I asked for wasn’t going to accomplish what my organization needed. She spent time with my team, coaching them and adjusted based on their feedback. Her suggestion to set up a ‘change champions’ group was a game changer!
