Game Changers - both companies and individuals - know the secret to enduring competitive advantage.

Game Changers - both companies and individuals - know the secret to enduring competitive advantage.

As ExperiencePoint describes it, Game Changers "...consistently put out offerings that tap into the desires of their audience. They're agile in the face of relentless change and complexity. It's like they have the magic touch, an uncanny ability to turn ideas into impact, and in the process, rewrite the rules of their industry."

I am passionate about helping leaders and their teams successfully innovate and navigate change. Over the last 8 years, I have been proud to partner with ExperiencePoint , an award-winning training company that develops innovation and change management workshops that are transforming the way people learn, manage change and solve complex problems.

During this time, I have facilitated more than 75 sessions with 1800+ participants in organizations as diverse and global as Coca-Cola, AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, Cox, Wharton, Hitachi, the CDC, Microsoft, Emory, the USDA, Dell and Home Depot. I have served as their "Sherpa" to guide them on their journey of discovery.

My goal is to make the tools of innovation and change accessible and actionable as soon as they leave the training session. I have seen first-hand the power when they discover within themselves the instincts to create great solutions and the reflexes to make them a reality. For as Thomas Edison says, "Vision without execution is hallucination."


Two Key Disciplines of Game Changers

There are two disciplines that make up the journey to impact: innovation and change. It's no coincidence that Game Changers are great at both.

Whether they're facing a tough problem or looking for ways to capitalize on new opportunities, Game Changers know how to create great solutions.

Innovation is the collection of tools, techniques and mindsets that help organizations create great solutions that are desirable for users, technically feasible and financially viable.


Change as a discipline of organizational effectiveness refers to the collection of tools, techniques, and mindsets that help organizations ensure their people are ready to engage, willing to commit and able to do what it takes to realize the full potential of great solutions.

Rather than viewing these two dimensions as sequential phases in a journey, Game Changers know that innovation and change are most effective when they happen in concert, with different levels of focus at different times. Change demands new ideas and great solutions - ones that are desirable, feasible and viable - while new solutions require effective change - the readiness, willingness and ability to translate ideas into impact.


The secret to organizational effectiveness isn't reserved for the lucky few. Your organization can adopt the innovation and change mindsets of the Game Changers to create groundbreaking solutions and realize your full potential.

Once you do, you'll unleash new ways of thinking, which will result in new offers, operational efficiencies and increased customer and employee engagement.

If you are ready to accelerate this journey by preparing your organization to successfully innovate and navigate a critical change, I would welcome the opportunity to serve as your "Sherpa."
