Constructive Destruction

Business strategies for dynamic times

Has your organization fallen victim to its own success? Experienced leaders recognize that every system has a limited productive life-cycle. This program helps business leaders shift their organization's attention and actions away from the past/present, onto the future/present: refocusing resources from yesterday's paradigms, onto today's imperatives, for tomorrow's success.

Created through years of experience leading turnarounds, founder's teams, and product launches, this approach emphasizes moving forward with the resources you have right now--not the resources you wish you had. It provides a strategic framework and techniques to:

  • identify past/present systems and assumptions
  • lead the destruction of outmoded paradigms
  • construct new and resilient ever-evolving systems
  • refocus current resources on future/present imperatives

Program formats include keynote, break-out, and half-day programs. Constructive Destruction video demo.

Tools of Change

The Essentials of Successful Change - People, Process, and Results

The ability to lead change is essential to success in our world of globalization, technological upheaval, and volatile markets. Yet, from the executive team to front-line employees, change initiatives are often poorly planned, poorly communicated, and poorly implemented. The inability to effect desired change can be deadly to both the organization and those individuals leading the change. It is little wonder that typically 70% of stakeholders ignore or openly resist change initiatives? In this session, sponsors, agents, and targets of change learn how to combine proven process methodologies with leadership competencies—converging process-essentials with people-essentials—to facilitate lasting and effective change.
