IPI helps your leaders connect to what they care about, and helps them engage in new ways of thinking, organizing, and designing their desired futures. 

Through its work with clients, IPI partners know:

  • Thinking about change is far less challenging than implementing it: Often when the change process begins, resistance emerges as leaders and teams realize the impact of the change on their way of knowing, being, and doing in the organization.
  • A shared vision is vital to commitment: High performance teams demand courage, transparency, and a fierce commitment to a shared vision
  • People do what they help create: When people are included in visioning, strategy, change process, and organization design decisions, they are more engaged and able to take immediate action.
  • Change begins at the personal level: The way we know is fateful. Leadership actions are governed by and individual's ways of seeing and understanding the complexities of his or her organization.
  • Different environments and contexts demand different leadership styles and skills. Cookie cutter solutions to leadership development fail to consider the environment and context withing an organization.

Here’s where IPI can help:

You: IPI will guide you into the heart of personal change as you create a vision for your life and work. IPI will be introduce you to new ways of interpreting your leadership role, your relationships as a leader, and your tactics for partnering, influencing, and inventing in a complex environment. IPI will also support you through leadership and executive coaching as you translate insight to action and, ideas to results.

Your Team: Your team will deepen its capacity for open and honest dialogue, reflective practice, and collaborative learning. This will enable team members to delve into the toughest of issues, discover the drivers of success, resolve conflict, plan and test emerging solutions, and come away with new confidence in their ability as innovators and change agents.

Your Organization: Your organization's success depends on having successful leadership at every level. IPI works with you to co-create and facilitate a process that brings current and emerging leaders together in setting the next generation of expectations. Using your organizational strategy and core values as a launching point, IPI partners with you to build a leadership learning program that takes into account your environmental context as well as on building leadership competencies for innovating and collaborating in a fast-paced environment.

Last week I toured various schools and community centers in Houston where I had the honor of meeting some amazing people: teachers, administrators, family development workers, parents, and students.  We sat down with several of them throughout the tours and asked the same question each time: “Why does learning matter?” Everyone sat up straight, looked each [...]

Nearly every organization uses strategic planning. Few, however, leverage its full power. Too often people adopt the “usual” definition of strategic planning that goes something like this: strategic planning is a plan or a blueprint for achieving a vision or overarching goal.
