How it works

Collective leadership activation: leaders at every level aligned, knowing what to do, and reinforcing new ways of working.

Simple

Clear, practical plans: what teams need to start and stop doing, key messages and actions.

Personalized

Leaders receive only the information and resources relevant to them and their teams.

Choreographed

Coordinate leadership actions so everyone moves together at the right moments.

Focused

Designed to sustain leader attention, which research shows often fades within weeks.

Iterative

Activation cycles direct attention to the highest-impact actions as change progresses.

Measurable

Real-time leading indicators: leader actions, adoption and benefit realization.

Everything at your fingertips

Project information, communications, resources and tasks in one place inside Microsoft Teams. No portals to remember, no documents to search for.

Everything your change team builds in the Change Workspace flows to Change Leader. Each leader gets a personalized app with only their team’s projects, upcoming tasks and project details.

  • Only their team’s projects
  • Upcoming tasks and project details in one view

Every leader sees what their team needs to start and stop doing, the key messages to share, and the actions to take this cycle.

  • New ways of working by team
  • Clear tasks with due dates

Reminders, announcements and go-live alerts arrive in Microsoft Teams, so critical actions surface automatically.

  • Timely reminders and alerts
  • Less follow-up for the change team

Track leader task completion and activation as it happens, so you know exactly where to step in.

  • Task completion by status
  • Leader activation scores

New ways of working observation surveys compare how employees and leaders see adoption, so gaps surface early.

  • Employee vs leader responses
