Leading Positive Change

Organizations need to move their enterprises to a more economically efficient and sustainable model. Traditionally, change management consultants work with a senior team to first clarify the organization’s vision. The challenge, however, is this team does not have all of the answers. IPI’s positive change management model works by employing the collective wisdom and knowledge of the your entire organization and using this to inform the vision.

Positive change is about taking action and doing things that move your organization toward its vision of a better future. When this vision is shared among those responsible for making change happen, implementation time goes down and engagement and performance go up.

Our decades of experience reveal that strong and successful organizations are built around a core of best practices, strengths, and the aspirations of their people. It also reveals that solutions generated or adapted from inside organizations are much more likely to work than those imposed from experts on the outside. Appreciative Inquiry, Rapid Strategy Development, Positive Deviance, Rapid Prototyping, and other strength-based change methodologies are some of the tools we use in partnership with you to facilitate positive change.

Whether clients are entering new markets, redesigning processes, or implementing new technology, we constantly ask “What are the strengths of this organization and where is the untapped potential in this system?” By identifying positive outliers and core strengths, organizations create fertile ground for new ideas, high engagement, and sustainable growth.

We use these elements in:

These three critical elements differentiate our approach:

  • High Engagement: We engage stakeholders at every level of an organization in order to harvest innovation from diverse sources as well as to create coordinated action and results.
  • Strength-Based: The focus of our initiatives is converting an organization’s strongest skills and practices in to the foundation of an optimally functioning system.
  • Future Focus: Our work involves not only identifying strengths but also cooperatively envisioning the future. We support organizations in imagining and achieving exceptional success.

WHY matters

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 [...]

There are nice people in the world willing to go the extra mile for strangers.  The media sends negative messages daily that encourage us to worry about our security, especially with regard to technology and strangers.  We are to eat or be eaten.  We are to protect ourselves or lose everything.  We are to avoid [...]

So the strategy is complete. It’s bound up in a nice binder containing a beautiful series of strategies and goals wrapped up in a bow with objectives. It’s bound up. Now, how do you “unbound” human potential and engage leaders and teams in implementation? Many strategy efforts produce 100% perspiration but little inspiration or innovation. [...]

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.
